Re: [docbook-apps] Asciidoc -> docbook -> PDF tooling

[Michael Maxwell <mmaxwell@umd.edu>]

Probably not the solution you're looking for, but we have used dblatex
   http://dblatex.sourceforge.net
(not to be confused with the older db2latex).  For our use 
case--grammars of foreign languages, with mixed languages and scripts 
(Arabic, Bengali, Thaana)--it was probably the only solution.  But if 
you're not familiar with LaTeX, tweaking it might be a steep learning curve.
