I have the xml sources for the Gimp manual. I can't seem to get them to translate to a pdf. The top xml file just contains a series of calls to subordinate files. When I run this through Context I get just the text of the first file in no particular format and none of the subfiles. I have tried texexec --environment=gimp gimp.xml and texexec --environment=xml gimp.xml

The Gimp advice is to use dblatex, but that seems to think it is on a Windows system and generates errors containing code like c:\foo

Now I can hand convert each and every xml statement in each and every subfile to a TeX equivalent but there should be a shorter way. There are more than 600 subfiles. Or I can write a program to do that to either the xml source or the html derivative. But I hope Context will enable me to do it with less labor.

You have to define what should happen with each file in the docbook source, there is a old module for ConTeXt to do this but I don't know if it works with a recent installation. Wolfgang
