Just ran into the following which may help us out a lot. The conversion is based on the instant program I mentioned earlier. It comes with a modified version of instant that has built in CALS table -> roff tbl conversion. The translation spec looks like it handles a pretty substantial chunk of the the Docbook DTD and may be a good shortcut to abandoning the linuxdoc DTD. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 23 Jun 1996 15:46:42 -0400 From: Bob Scheifler <rws@x.org> To: Multiple recipients of list <davenport@online.ora.com> Subject: free docbook-to-man tool now available The X Consortium is pleased to announce the availability of a free docbook-to-man tool, a batch converter that transforms UNIX-style reference pages written using the DocBook SGML DTD into nroff/troff man pages using the -man macros. The tool is available as the compressed tar file ftp:://ftp.x.org/contrib/utilities/docbook-to-man.tar.gz. The Davenport Group is encouraged to mirror this on their own ftp site. This tool was produced by Fred Dalrymple under contract to the X Consortium.
