[drupal-docs] generating Drupal Handbook pdf's manually

Good stuff!   Continuing my preference for doing things automatically,
I have an XSL based script which does HTML to DocBook in a scriptable
way:

(It's that whole business of making a virtue out of laziness...)

IMHO, it's too early to think about making the jump to DocBook.  I feel
we're still in the phase of
generating content, not consolidating, and particularly not print
production.  DocBook would
just inhibit work at this point, I think.

    Regards, Djun
