Shouldn't be too hard to put together an XML-processor that can do the split-up for you. In fact, if the XML is designed well, it would not be hard to use CSS to output different things, different formats, and/or different parts according to whether viewing (hearing) with a web browser, a screen reader, or some other @media (device/destination). -- Wes Groleau "Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity.
