i am using docbook as a single source system for my own open source project. it is even possible to use xml schema instead of a dtd. but that thing is still in some kinda beta state. i had the feeling that it still is a chalange to transform the xml files into PDF files using FO opject threes. that works much better using docbook SGML and the DSSL stylesheets. > > Websites are another story.
