Hi Charles,
couldn't see the attachment. As I'm going to prepare a hefty
bibliography (in MS .doc format at the moment ...) for web publication,
and I'm a newbie to TEI, I'm very interested in this topic.

I would also like to know how difficult it would be to produce different
HTML files from a single XML one using the appropriate tools (e.g. I
would like to produce a date-ordered and an author-ordered bibliography).

Thanks in advance.

Ciao
