Hello, all--

This is my first post to the list, and I just want to say hello, looks 
great, and I apologize if this question is covered in the
documentation somewhere.

Anyway, I have an occasional and growing need to use Japanese in my
work, and so I've been thinking about how or if I might be able to format 
SGML docs including Japanese text. I suppose the DTD needs to be set
up to use a Japanese character set, but let's leave that aside for the 
moment. What I'd like to know is, can Jade currently process documents 
containing Japanese text (preferably EUC encoding, but I can convert
it if necessary)? Or, as my reading of the docs suggests, is Japanese
support possible but not currently implemented? And if it's the
latter, is there any development effort underway?

"Sounds like he's volunteering."

Well, yes. Don't know if I have the skills that would be needed, but
if there's anything I can do, I'm willing to contribute some time.

Feel free to respond either to the list or in person. Thanks in
advance for any info.

Regards,

Matt Gushee
