Uttered Tim Waugh twaugh@redhat.com, spake thus:
Recently I've been taking a look at how far along the xmlroff project is (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlroff), and whether it can meet the needs of the Fedora Project documentation yet.
Unfortunately, xmlroff can process a DocBook input only by throwing out the hard stuff; there is even a special stylesheet, for that very purpose, included with the distribution.
The folk at tldp.org have taken the same approach (subsetting) with their LinuxDoc sheets.
FOP needs to "just work"; it looks furtherest along to me.
Cheers
