Hello Steve, in the man page for docbook2man-spec.pl, you write: Support other (human) languages. But what to do with non-ASCII charsets? SGMLSpm doesn't report them and roff does not grok them. [Comment: text after enclosed lists (and SS blocks) will break doc- book2man] If we do this, more people can use DocBook.
I needed docbook2man for german, so I hacked in german support. Of course, german contains only a few non-ASCII characters, but as far as I tested, it works. Can you have a look at my solution found at bugs.debian.org/253085 and tell me your thoughts? The Debian maintainers have not yet responded on my ideas, therefor I write this to you directly. Maybe you've started some work in this in the meantime as well, so we can merge those? Thanks for writing docbook2man-spec.pl, it is really a good tool.
