[Reposting with new subscription. D'oh] I think most Windows folks would like to have the docs in HTML Help or Help 2 (VS 7+ and newer MSDN docs ship with that one) format. I happen to use the index for MSDN library all the time. Also searching for keywords isn't much on fun on Windows.
Oddly, searching on Gmane yields no related results.
I have never used docbook, but AFAICT there is already a formatter for HTML Help available. I've managed to build a CHM file but apparently somewhere path information is lost resulting in bad TOC entries. Also the index is useless (only two entries) and the TOC order/hierarchy is a bit messed up. Apart from that it looks quite decent for a first attempt.
Anyway, I think it should be relatively simple to add support for HTML Help (although I have also never used BBv2 before...).
Has anyone tried to do that yet? Anyone interested?
I don't know of anyone else that has tried, but thanks for taking a shot at it! You mentioned that the stylesheets were a bit out-of-date: were you using the newest DocBook XSL stylesheets? (1.67.2, I believe).
If I can of any help, please ask. I can't promise to answer quickly, but I will answer.
