Hi,

DocBook authoring tools have progressed tremendously in the past few years, and
I disagree that the "tools to process it are very finicky". If there are
specific questions about making DocBook more palatable for GHC, Cabal, c2hs,
others, please send them to me directly or the docbook-apps list:

Thanks,
