I have made a substantial number of improvements to db2man, and (as I said earlier) have distributed this improved version as part of xmlto. I would love to incorporate the improvements into CVS. I spoke to Martin about it some months ago, but the few patches I had sent him at the time have never shown up. :-( You can get xmlto from here: http://cyberelk.net/tim/xmlto For a demonstration of the output quality, take a look at the xmlto man page, or the man pages distributed with patchutils (http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils). Martin, any chance of getting these improvements into CVS yet? Tim. */
