I'm still coming up empty handed... I'm making an electronic copy of an old book from the Commodore 64 days written by Jim Butterfield. I would really like to *capture* the structure of the book and its content. However, I've run into a couple of things I can't quite identify approiate tags. This book is about learning 650x machine language and the author uses rather informal lists and examples. I'm looking for something meaning this: my goal more details about why this goal is important, etc. my goal 2 more text about why this goal is important, etc. I understand display is somewhat a secondary concern but I'l hoping for a display like: * my goal more details about why this goal is important, etc. * my goal 2 more text about why this goal is important, etc. Also, how can I express example information/code/command that is actually part of the paragraph flow? For example: Be sure to run G C000 your newly created program by using the monitor run or go command. Formatted as: Be sure to run (e.g. G C000) your newly created program by using the monitor run or go command. Is there any hope for me? :) I'm using the docbook-tools (jade 1.2.1, 0.10, etc -- latest RPMs) and the db2html for "display".
