Hi Helge, Before writing a more complete answer, I'd like to be sure we're talking about the same thing. When you are referring to Docbook file, I suppose it's the "regular" help file [1], open generally by Yelp through the Help -> Contents menu item. For me, a man page is in a classical (groff) man format. But I may be wrong. Is it a special case with a Docbook source file generating a man page?
