I'm simply trying to find and set up the right combination of tools that will
allow me to generate a decent looking pdf file from an XML document compliant
with the Simplified DocBook DTD containg some figures in eps format. If I
could generate HTML from the same document I would be even happier, even
though this is not a strict requirement at this time.
