So using a local stylesheet should be ok for the beginning. BTW: There is a new package app-text/docbook2X which can be used to convert docbook to man and info pages. It uses alot of perl XML modules and internaly uses XML::DOM and not XML::Sablotron or XML::LibXSLT Maybe we can extend this package to amke use of the newer parsers and add html and fo output (maybe pdf too) to it. Then we would have a nice frontend docs. achim~ > Best Regards, > > -- > Daniel Robbins > President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org > Gentoo Technologies, Inc. > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
