The problem is how to convey this information through DocBook so when Jade for example, processes the XML file it knows to produce those HTML codes. Where is this 'missing link'? Is it something that should be within DocBook's XSL? Is it something that should be in Jade to auto-detect language, is it something that should be an argument for Jade? Is it something that no one should care about and we have to post-process the output and insert those tags (like we used to do before the CSS idea, which is not turning out to be a bad idea in itself). I am not looking for temporary fixes. I want a permanent solution that is not difficult or complicated to implement (relative to setting up the whole docbook/xml or even tex).
