[Bf-docboard] additional benefit

[Martin Middleton]

DocBook definitely supports index generation and has support for arbitrary 
lists of secondary and tertiary elements as well as "See" and "SeeAlso" 
elements.

While I never got around to completing the chapter on setting up various 
environments for DocBook (for an Appendix in the Blender Guide) I can say 
that support for doing this exists on pretty much every platform (including 
Windows). Once the Guide is unfrozen, I'll finish putting together doc for 
an Appendix  explaining how to do this on multiple platforms.

BTW, while there are commercial solutions, I've only been looking into Open 
Source, or otherwise free solutions to working with DocBook.
