I did convert the DocBook XML manuals to Markdown and have incorporated the conversion into the build process in a cross-platform way, but...
Just discovered AsciiDoc, which was designed to be a plain-text shorthand for DocBook, which means that DocBook's semantics are preserved. This feels like a more apt transition, considering the effort that was put into the DocBook documentation to start with, and maybe it would make the conversion more reliable.
