This looses a lot as Markdown does not include a number of features of asciidoc
(like admonitions).

This is the first tool I tried, it is missing a lot of formatting capabilities
that FOP and Latex have, but with FOP appearing to be all but abandoned (and me
having some problems with it), I’m looking at a replacement for it. So maybe
the question I should have asked is:
Is a docbook->html->pdf toolchain recommended over a docbook->latex->pdf
toolchain?
Is there some tooling that is definitely recommended over others for either of
those chains?

I am working on an AsciiDoc -> DocBook -> PDF toolchain for an open source
project (so all tooling must be freely available) because the direct
AsciiDoc -> PDF toolchain is inadequate for our purposes.
I currently have a java/maven-based AsciiDoc -> DocBook -> FOP -> PDF
chain within the docbkx-maven-plugin, but would like any suggestions that
appear to be better maintained and are cross platform.
