really? I thought "DocBook to make documentation..." was a 
straightforward approach, but take in account that maybe there is the 
info u need or an even easier solution but as always is not in the damn 
place where is suppose to be.

I wonder if it's a fair enough trade off to have this powerful 
Programming Language freeware with great features with an almost total 
lack of organization on resources(specially docs and directions) instead 
of other more organized, well documented Languages that doesn't do that 
good and yet you have to pay for them? I feel is like being married, is 
not just the fact that I love it, is a decision I've made to stick to it 
no matter what... Jesus! get better ALREADY! :)
