Finally, there’s a way to convert DocBook XML to PDF. Petter Reinholdtsen describes the tool he used and the simple process involved. I pulled dblatex from Debian Unstable and it essentially just worked. The PDF output looks quite professional and the DocBook XML conventions are followed as you’d expect. Nice.

    Actually, to convert a DocBook XML to pdf it’s enough to start “db2pdf”, for example:

    db2pdf libata.xml

    will make a libata.pdf document in the same directory.
