Thanks

Yes, I have already started working on a version 4 language reference, 
but first I need to spend some more time on Jaybird and r2dbc-firebird 
;)

I used 
https://github.com/mrotteveel/docbookrx/tree/firebird-modifications to 
convert the old Firebird docbook sources to Asciidoc, maybe it can be 
useful for you too. However the Firebird docbook sources were using 
Docbook 4.5, and although I believe this tool supports both, there might 
be some issues (I had to make some modifications to fix conversions).
