Does any docbook conversion support typesetting or am I back to latex?
I meant quarto, I have binding & shearing although I feel like Ben Franklin
sometimes.
The handbook is quite handy.

really doesnt matter if you can carry the manual with you if it doesnt<br>

<br>
there is nothing to prevent the current docbook from being rendered<br>
into "quarto" (i suspect you meant folio since quarto would be ha=
rd to<br>
use without cutting and binding). you could just do it by simply<br>
post-processing the .pdf with pdfnup. =A0if you feel there is something<br>
specific missing, please open a bug. =A0i know we are currently missing<br>
an index for the manual pages -- it got lost in the conversion.<br>
<br>
we also have .epub and .mobi (kindle) versions of the manuals available<br>
(generated from the same docbook/pod that is generating the .pdf<br>
and .html) for those that have moved beyond the whole dead trees thing.<br>
