printable online docs

[Jim Kingdon]

Most open source projects (KDE and GNOME for example) seem to use
DocBook.

However, DocBook has many of the same disadvantages (and advantages)
as texinfo:

1.  Probably not quite so easy to install the needed software on Mac
    or Windows as StarOffice/OpenOffice/Word/RTF/&c.

2.  Probably more of a learning curve than something like
    StarOffice/OpenOffice/Word/RTF/&c (although I haven't tried any
    GUI DocBook tools; I gather that LyX has some DocBook capability).

One plus of DocBook are that it is a well-documented standard (unlike
any of the variants of Word/RTF as far as I know).  And because it is
XML-based, that should ease the learning curve across all platforms.

Anyway, the answer to the question that started this thread is
probably to get xconq from CVS rather than from a tarball.   Linux
distributions come with all the texinfo tools; it is just that 7.4 has
bugs in the doc.
