I have the xml sources for the Gimp manual. I can't seem to get them
to translate to a pdf. The top xml file just contains a series of
calls to subordinate files. When I run this through Context I get
just the text of the first file in no particular format and none of
the subfiles.
I have tried
texexec --environment=gimp gimp.xml
and
texexec --environment=xml gimp.xml
The Gimp advice is to use dblatex, but that seems to think it is on
a Windows system and generates errors containing code like c:\foo
Now I can hand convert each and every xml statement in each and
every subfile to a TeX equivalent but there should be a shorter
way. There are more than 600 subfiles. Or I can write a program to
do that to either the xml source or the html derivative. But I
hope Context will enable me to do it with less labor.
BTW the html generation works flawlessly following the approved Gimp
script.

You have to define what should happen with each file in the docbook
source,
there is a old module for ConTeXt to do this but I don't know if it
works
with a recent installation.
