FOP (which we use to produce PDF) supports several output formats,
including text and RTF. Unfortunately, when I just made a setup to
test those renderings, the plaintext looked like garbage and choked on
the first table, and the RTF didn't even get started... :-(
Still I would be surprised if there didn't exist any stylesheets to
produce (at least) plaintext from DocBook. It should be so basic. But
they're not included in our DocBook stylesheets.
Can InnoSetup display HTML? From XMLMind you can produce single-file
HTML. Or with our tools (printablehtml target). If you can't display
that, you could save the HTML file as text from a browser.
Other than that, you could google on "docbook" + "plaintext" +
"stylesheet*". And search the Mulberry XSL list archive:

(I just did some quick searches without luck; but there are a lot of
result pages, it just takes time to check them all out...)
BTW, if you *do* find anything useful, please let us know so we can
integrate it in the build tools.
Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog
