&gt; FWIW, I've been poking at converting the linuxdoc sources in the

&gt; DESIGN.sgml are large documents. The formats are similar, but it's a
&gt; pretty manual process (especially since linuxdoc allows lots of
&gt; behavior that's not valid xml). If anyone knows any automatic
&gt; translators from linuxdoc to docbook, let me know.

Perhaps it would be easier to convert to DocBook SGML instead of XML?

I found an lb2db.sh script that converts linuxdoc to docbook.sgml. According to some GNOME documentation, you need to replace the docbook sgml DTD with the docbook xml dtd:

I have tried with the input-mouse sgml readme file and it worked with some minor corrections in closing tags.<BR>
