manpage generation questions

Hi,

there are some strange things with docbook2x-0.8.3 (Debian Sarge):
- When I choose an encoding with --encode, it is only honored for UTF-8, 
ISO-8859-15 still gets "\(:a" instead of "ä". The problem with "\(:a" is that 
the man program in Debian does only show an 'a', not an 'ä'.

- the .TH macro has some more parameters (the 4th is displayed at the bottom 
left of a manpage) that cannot be used, or maybe I missed how.


Aditionally: how can I use that l10n stuff from
  /usr/share/docbook2x/common/text ?
It would probably be useful for translating the section titles. Is there a 
nice way for translating docbook files other than copy&edit?

Is there a direct conversion to HTML? Currently, I use man2html but a direct 
way might be better. Or maybe to something else that can be used by Windows 
users?

Thanks

HS
