I use a modified version of Norman Walsh XSL stylesheets to transform Docbook XML documents to LaTeX and then pdflatex to create PDF files. Disadvantages: - one needs to get familiar with LaTeX (which of course not all people on this list would consider as an disadvantage). - handling of LaTeX special characters is a bit tricky, but possible. - implementing all the features of a rather complicated DTD like Docbook is not a trivial task Advantages: - as someone else mentioned, typesetting quality is high (once one gets the LaTeX output right...) - there is lot of LaTeX expertise out there (and on this list as well).
