I think the } easiest way to turn docbook into Texinfo is using docbook2x This is not increasing my enthusiasm. The whole reason we chose yodl way back when was because that meant *one* piece of format-conversion software was required to produce all the output formats we wanted. Requiring a greater number of conversion tools from a wider variety of sources and that may be available on a smaller number of target OSs, is not a step forward in my opinion. } (http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/). I don't know much about it, } however. Do docbook2x's own info files look good to you? It looks OK based on the Cygwin screen shot, but I'm not going to install it just to find out. } Things like indexes may have to be done differently. I don't really like } the current set of six indices anyway. Well, no, neither do I, but that's a limitation of the info format.
