Some weeks ago, I started converting the FAQ to docbook by hand as an exercise in learning docbook. I'm sure there are 1001 texi-2-XML tools, but doing it quickly wasn't the point at the time. You can see the results here: http://members.dca.net/mhoffman/sensors/docbook/ The HTML is there, along with a tarball of what I used to get there. There is also a list of RedHat 9 RPMS that I installed. I've learned as much about docbook as I intended without ever finishing this... but if you think it's an improvement I'll keep on it. FWIW I think the source is easier to read than texi. * Mark D.
