I don't think one needs to know the DocBook DTD and I agree that AsciiDoc should just take care of that stuff. I was using standard Ubuntu package asciidoc-8.2.6 & a2x-1.0.0 which generates & compiles docbook-4.2 without errors. So I think it's just a version issue and that our main AsciiDoc structure needs fixing. I'll try upgrading and see what happens. I've been looking at various formats. DocBook XML seems a logical choice, but I don't like the verbosity of reading/writing plain XML. A standardized wiki language Creole I didn't think as mature as AsciiDoc. For me AsciiDoc looks like the perfect approach as we can generate everything from man to web pages (just as Git, which is using Asciidoc too), and we have readable plain text to maintain.
