I agree, jade is not the way to go.

Philip, I just found a msg from you to the developer at db2latex from mid 2005--did \
anyone ever respond?

I've looked into the docbook (xsl) => pdf thing several times over the years and \
still believe the best method is not to reinvent the wheel but use Professor Knuth's \
wonderful TeX for the actual typesetting.  That means translation of docbook \
eventually into TeX (or LaTeX), then pdf.

Besides db2latex there is also a docbook (xsl) => ConTeXt (which is a set of macros \
on top of TeX; it is seriously maintained) => pdf system I'm looking into.

And what is the current method you are using?

Thanks.

-Tom
