I also added there a link to the dvbapi spec generated via the newly DocBook port of the docs that I posted at: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mchehab/dvb-specs This way, it will be easier for people to double check if nothing were lost during the format conversion. IMHO, one of the biggest advantage of the html generated from DocBook is that the chapter/section numbering is preserved, while, with the LaTex version, they are shown only at the pdf doc. It should be noticed that, as no styles are applied to the tables, that they are not nicely displayed at the DocBook version.
