+		<description>&lt;p&gt;I tried to send this text to the
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/&quot;&gt;docbook-apps
+mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org&lt;/a&gt;, but it only accept messages
+from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
+bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
+try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
+out.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
+learning curve at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
+translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
+docbook to handle the process.  The files to build the book are
+available from
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig&quot;&gt;github&lt;/a&gt;.
+The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
+index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
+software docbook processors.  My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
+Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
+tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
+formats.  I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
+problems.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Using dblatex, the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt; handling is not the way I want to,
+   as &amp;lt;/part&amp;gt; do not really end the &amp;lt;part&amp;gt;. (See
+   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683166&quot;&gt;BTS report #683166&lt;/a&gt;), the
+   xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
+   index references spanning several pages (See
+   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682901&quot;&gt;BTS report #682901&lt;/a&gt;), and
+   I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
+   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/682936&quot;&gt;BTS report #682936&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
+   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683163&quot;&gt;BTS report
+   #683163&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
+   show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
+   footnote and text body, see
+   &lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/683197&quot;&gt;BTS report #683197&lt;/a&gt;), and
+   fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
+   refs listed are not right).&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;li&gt;Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
+   index problems the xmlto + fop processing.&lt;/li&gt;
+
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
+of this book?  Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
+experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;What about HTML and EPUB versions?&lt;/p&gt;
