Does anyone know if postscripts convert better than docbook? I've done
some docbook2pdf converstions. I like it cause I can validate the
docbook and / or change out headers with xml tools. but I guess there
are proably similar tools for postscript. I don't *need* to change now.
But maybe if postscript is better in someway I'll look into it.
