Re: Interrobang

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is that what docbook2pdf does is 
parse SGML or XML input files and create a tex-format intermediate file 
which then gets passed to pdftex. The user never even sees the 
intermediate files.  Even intercepting that pipeline doesn't help 
much--the intermediate file looks nothing like a standard tex/latex file:

\FOT{3}\Seq%
{\def\PageNumberFormat%
{1}\def\PageNumberRestart%
{0}\def\PageTwoSide%
{1}\def\TwoSideStartOnRight%
{1}\def\PageNColumns%
{1}\def\PageColumnSep%
{36\p@}\def\PageBalanceColumns%
{0}\def\WritingMode%

etc, etc.

and there's no obvious way or place to insert Latex commands.  And 
trying to hack the docbook parsing process to try to get the right Latex 
inserted is even scarier than trying to get pdftex to recognise the 
interrobang.
