Hi,

out of curiosity:

what are your plans for xmlto's PDF toolchain?  db2latex and dblatex
come to my mind, with the latter one packaged by me.  Naturally I would
like to see dblatex integrated into xmlto :-)

No intention (and necessity) to exclude db2latex, as xmlto's upstream
author explicitly encourages configurability for different PDF
toolchains [1].

Regards, Andreas
