I had the other reaction to this...
I have been managing my web presence via DocBook SGML for a goodly long
time. It is, as mentioned upthread, pretty wordy what with all the
verbose
tagging.
It would be worth something to be able to edit it in TeXinfo form, with
the
lesser amount of tagging required. (And I'd
kinda like to get off of
DocBook/SGML one of these days as the toolset is clearly mouldering away
pretty badly.)
Looks like pandoc will go from DocBook to Texinfo.
Me, I'd probably write a giant awk script to do the grunt work. :-)
