Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: DocBk XML -> HTML and ?roff

http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xsl or http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook
if you're feeling brave.

For DocBook to *roff, um, try http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook2x

What sort of manipulation? You could easily build something like that
on top of XML::DOM, but I can't think of any DocBook-specific methods.
