Hi Saqib,

>From the various refences texts about htmldoc, I understand that it
doesn't support CSS. So step 1 (XML-HTML) is indeed a good step, but
step 2 (HTML-PDF) results in rather simple PDFs.

I'm actually thinking of making a nice XSL for FOP, e.g., some sort of
fo/my-tldp-print.xsl. Then it will be an easy step:
fop -xsl fo/my-tldp-print.xsl -xml bogomips.xml -pdf bogomips.pdf

Comments on such an idea?

Met vriendelijke groeten,
