Yes, I think that we understood what you were saying
in your previous messages. I'm currently reading
some tutorials about XSL and it looks very powerful
indeed. Nobody volunteered yet to convert one of the
existing chapters of the Gobo doc to DocBook (or XML
in general), so I will give it a try this weekend after
I finish reading the XSL tutorials.

Thank you for your suggestion about using XSL. I'll
let you know when I will have made progress converting
a chapter of the doc to DocBook and show you what it
looks like.
