I am trying to run a bunch of docbook files related to Krita. The convention in these files seems to be to prefix subordinate file names with an & character. If I run e.g, texexec index.docbook it blows up on the first such ampersand. I can of course edit all the files to replace & with \& but I wonder if there is a better strategy? I also tried the various "docbook2xxx" style utilities but they all failed to produce meaningful results. All I want to do is read the #$% files!
