Thanks for the hint, I thought about that, too. But: AFAIK, the manpages output covers only <refentry>, but not <article> or <book>. Further, the support of UTF-8 in the free roff tools was poor, last time I looked. Maybe I'm wrong in both respects? I'm thinking about post-processing the XHTML before letting w3m render it to text format. Does anybody have an example XSL file for processing DocBook XSLs XHTML, so that I do not need to start from zero? Thanks in advance!
