I wasn't clear: We have converters ready for

tex pdf ps html htmlman manpages txt

Have a look at http://www.amanda.org/docs/AMANDA-docs.html for some of
the results.

The conversion is done, but the xml-files are not yet used for
generating the files for the official AMANDA-releases. This will be
done soon and this is what I meant with "switch".

Sure, welcome.

As Gavin noticed, 100% are available in Docbook/XML.

There is a CVS-branch, browse it at:
