I noticed we went off-list, so I'm including the list again.

Excellent thanks. I've cloned that branch and managed to build the
docs. One thing I notice in the PDF created with:
./gradelw docbookPdf
is the front-matter pages have interesting Roman numbers. I click onto
the Command Line Utilities in the main contents and the pages start
numbering at ccxcvii :) (And I don't read Roman very well these days
either, so I've no idea what page that should be!
It's not a problem, or a complaint, just an observation that amused me.
I'd recommend not building the entire base as a single PDF ;), but
instead use ./gradlew docbookPdf --docId=firebird-commandline-utilities
or maybe the id of the specific subdoc. However, I'll double check what
the old behaviour was in this case.
The old docbook used roman numerals in the page itself, but not in the
PDF pagination (there it used the physical page number, not the printed
page number). That the PDF pagination now uses the roman numerals is
probably a result of the newer docbook-xsl version or Apache FOP, or
possibly a result of the following thing.
In the old build, the page numbers would reset for each book, but in the
new build they are continuous within the set. This is also the reason
the roman numeral is so high.
This is because of a change in 1.77.1 with description:
"""
Robert Stayton: pagesetup.xsl
Change initial page number for book from 1 to auto so front
cover and title pages are sequential, and so that book inside
set will continue numbering.
"""
As full set PDFs are not how we normally build the PDFs, I think it is
fine to ignore this difference.
