Didn't you started on the generated geany.txt? I guess this would had
been much easier than converting from geany.docbook?

"jw -b pdf geany.docbook" (the way we create the pdf files at the

are always intermediately converted into LaTeX. So, no big difference.

But it can be annoying when reading a long documentation with lots of
text. There are still people out there without broadband connections
(like me at the moment). But now, our documentation isn't that big ;-).
