Subject: DocBook vs. LaTeX questions
Dear DocBook-users, I'm currently working on my PhD. I writing it in LaTeX (memoir class). My problem up till now is that I need to use a lot of languages in the book that are best typeset with Unicode input, such as Hebrew, Akkadian and other ancient near eastern languages. Combined with this I will need bracketing in a Chomskian linguistic manner and probably some tree-structures as well. Although I like the PDF output of LaTeX very much, I thought it might be worthwhile to try and set one chapter or so in docbook. I'm not completely ignorant of xml and other structured texts like LaTeX. My questions are: Is docbook useful for a PhD like the above mentioned? Can I use Unicode withing docbook? Installing fonts (particularly expert fonts) for use with LaTeX can be time-consuming; how is the font support for docbook, can any font be used provided the right tags are used? Regards, Robert.
