The biggest priority is getting xmlto to produce PDFs. Even with valid
DocBook XML, I can't get a PDF to generate for the Documentation or
the Developer's Guides. I have been commenting out sections to see
where the problems are, and so far I have found a few
workarounds. But, ideally we want it to work for valid DocBook XML. We
also want it to work without having to install additional packages on
top of Fedora Core. So, something like using some of the Java
solutions out there is out unless it is the last option.
