[ILUG] Re: Sgml|Howtos to PDF?

[Conor Daly]

I've been using LyX to compose in.  Tried both DocBook and LinuxDoc but when
I try the "view dvi" or "view ps" options, I get errors.  However, I *can*
export to sgml and do sgml2html or tex or whatever but I couldn't see an
sgml2pdf tool and I like pdf for d/l ing HOWTOs

Got told about ps2pdf so I'm all set.
