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

[Charlie Lowe]

In reference to, DocBook, I agree. HTML is easiest and the universal 
markup that everyone understands.

On another note, I just realized that I can auto-generate indices with 
OpenOffice by creating a concordance file. Back to the folksonomy 
module, user generated folksonomy terms could be used in the 
concordance. OO can then search for the terms and generate the indices. 
Of course, they then have to be edited for relevance.
