Yes, and it's done. The DocBook xml version is in the repository along
with a makefile and the LSB's customisation stylesheet. To produce html
or postscript you need the DocBook DTDs and stylesheets and the
docbook2html and docbook2ps programs. Under Debian the right packages
are docbook-utils, docbook-xml and their dependencies. I don't exactly
know what you need for other distros.

The postscript output is pretty good and the html is reasonable although
there is some room for improvement by fiddling with stylesheets. At the
moment Lars' email address and the revision string get dropped from the
front page by the processor. This is a stylesheet problem. Lars' email
is still in the contributors list.

There is also a bit of polishing work to do like making hyperlinks work
and making the internal cross-references automatic. Now that I've
finally finished my law degree and the conference from last week is out
of the way, I might actually have time to do something about that and
all the other OCF stuff which I have spectacularly failed to get done in
the last three months )-:.

Regards,

David

"Standard notation", yet another great oxymoron.
