Try converting the IG, for instance. FWIW, I took a look at this. There is a bug concerning bare indexterms at the beginning of para blocks, and working around that I ended up with some PDF output. The fo:external-graphic support is being re-written currently, and so there are no images. Also, there is incorrect significant white-space in a lot of places because of this sort of style: <para> <!-- this white space is significant and *will* be rendered! --> Blah blah blah... There are a few rendering glitches too, of course, but I am confident things would improve fairly rapidly if the Fedora Project would lend xmlroff some development support. I think it's at the point now where it is possible to pick an unimplemented property that you care about and implement it. The upstream maintainer is helpful when you have questions about the code. I've put the PDF I got here: http://cyberelk.net/tim/data/tmp/fedora-install-guide-en.pdf ..and now I'll go and file the bug that indexterms trigger. Tim. */
