Thank you very much, you confirm that the "DocbookInContext" from Simon Pepping is still the way to go. I've no specific request, I just forward some interest by the web = community to converting from docbook to pdf more or less automaticaly. I fact, my original interest come from the work of the jelix team (a = MVC php Framwork) whose documentation was only online (dokuwiki). Following some user feedback, Jelix team have then generate docbook = from that wiki filesss+ and make pdf file thanks to the (not maintained) db2latex tool. I look after a more uptodate tool (for further customisation) and = found dblatex as mention on the (french) forum: http://jelix.org/forums/read.php?10,2680,page=3D4#msg-2872 The result was that the simple command: dblatex jelix-manual.xml produce a "correct" (i.e. readable) jelix-manual.pdf file without any customisation (with default table of content, correct verbatim, ...) which was not the case for db2latex. But then, any customisation will be a latex style, which is more hacking than ConTeXt (I think so, but I'm sure you agree ;-) Nevertheless, the first criterion was that it just works in simple case. If some magic command (or a simple tutorial) like : texexec --docbook jelix-manual.xml do some equivalent work than the above dblatex, no doubt that the = ConTeXt community will increase by more than 100%!
