Fortunately, there are at least two decent solutions, and one poor one. * Jade/jadetex work as well with DocBook/XML as they do with SGML, if dvi is an acceptable intermediate form to generate PDF. * PassiveTeX was recently packaged, and within certain constraints[1], works pretty well. Today is the first time I've had success; the author, Sebastian Rahtz, helped me overcome my problems. * FOP is also packaged, but I wouldn't advocate using its output. -John 1. Things which may cause PassiveTeX to fail entirely: * DocBook tables. * Nested tags in titles.
