No, DocBook will generate nothing. It is a DTD, so you need SGML processing tools. And Jade does not have a texinfo backend, sorry. If you ask me, I think the RMS is on the wrong path with texinfo. SGML is the whisper of the future. Maybe you want to ask him if they dont want to donate a texinfo backend to jade dsssl engine? However, I dont know how texinfo looks like. If it uses standard markup, you may come around using a small converter, but it will never be optimal. Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
