Postgres documentation in GNU Info format

Question

Postgres is an open-source project and it has DocBook as default format for its documentation. At a first glance it looks like a tree of *.sgml files in the doc directory inside a repository.

There are several pre-defined convertion output formats, but unfortunately Emacs' native one is ignored.

Does it possible to get Postgres documentation as a postgres.info.gz file?

Answer 1

That's basically nothing more than a text conversion problem. I believe the right solution here would be to write an XSL that converts the XML in your SGML files to TeXinfo source code, but the next best thing:

pandoc is a parser for different textual document file formats. It has a reader for Docbook and a writer for texinfo. That should get you started.
