We already have an export-to-XHTML option with FLOSS Manuals, and I think a
while ago there was talk of adding a docbook export function as well. I was
preparing a script to automate the creation of Debian .debs from those

option was not forthcoming. CCing the FLOSS Manuals discussion list for
their take.
