Create a shell script (I'm assuming you're on Unix here... adapt as needed if not) which runs Jade on your document using a style sheet that uses the SGML Transformation backend to produce multiple SGML files from your one input file, using (make entity ...). Then, have the script run Jade once on each of these files with a style sheet that will produce the desired output. Ideally, OpenJade would be able to do this by including an implementation of the transformation language, which could produce separate groves for each target output file, then process each of these into its own file. Uh, yeah! One of these days I'll get back to that project (and maybe get so far as to actually get Henry's DSC 2.0 stuff working, having had a little trouble with Gambit). -Brandon :) DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
