Hello,
The "right" way is by using Norman Walsh's FO stylesheets
and a Fo->PDF tool, as PassiveTeX, Apache FOP, etc.
(More experinced people please explain)
You can also download
www.infres.enst.fr/~casellas/db2latex-0.5.0.tar.gz or
www.infres.enst.fr/~casellas/db2latex-0.5.1.tar.gz
(the last one has not been much tested)
For a short install-howto see
www.infres.enst.fr/~casellas/docbook.html
and the testdocs directory of the distribution.
These are (alpha!) DB2LaTeX XSL stylesheets that produce latex output, and
a PDF file can be generated with pdflatex. They produces quite good
results, (some features are still missing) but you can tweak it as you
want to fit your needs.
The most important differences w.r.t 0.5.0 is the doc directory,
some bug fixes, and the addition of a latex.override variable that
allows the user to completely specify the LaTeX preamble.
Regards,
R.
