I understand linuxdoc to html as the ultimate
goal... but why not go via the docbook xml route? ie
linuxdoc->docbook xml->html? We need to massage the
linuxdoc sgml into a valid XML and then transform it
into docbook XML using XSLT. That should like an
interesting project....
Basically a program that will convert linuxdoc to AN
xml making sure it is syntactically valid XML. Then
XSLT to docbook XML and then we are home....
