Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: variablelist attributes

The values for each attribute seem somewhat arbitrary, and I don't know where they get defined. <<<<< I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I had nothing but problems with Steve Cheng's docbook2man program. We've had much better luck with XML. Martijn van Beers and Tim Waugh have produced an excellent tool set in db2man, and it's available as part of the 1.53.0 DocBook XSL stylesheets.
