We're using xsl, so what I would need is a customization layer for
Norman Walsh's (fabulous) stylesheets.
Daniel Veillard has kindly added DocBook sgml support to libxslt, so
this also is backwards compatible to sgml docs.
Because of the specific needs of our help system, there may be
functional tweaks required - what I'd want from y'all is an xsl that
creates html that looks the way you'd like, which I will then tweak to
make it fit the functional needs of our help browser.
Are LDP docs primarily sgml, xml or what?
