I'm not sure about getting the xml to nroff converter working though. I don't know anything about db2man. Maybe you could give me a hand with that, Sander? In general, I do agree that using docbook man pages would give us greater leverage on our source documentation. NROFF is awkward to use, and doesn't offer much in the way of output possibilities. I'll continue to pursue this line of enquiry. Pat |
