subversion book in txt format.
Guys,
Could you please make a copy of the subversion book in plain txt format. I
would like to convert it to my Palm PDA but I could only do txt2palmdoc.
Thank you in advance.

FYI, that's exactly how the FreeBSD Documentation Project generates txt
file renderings of the Handbook, FAQ, release notes, etc.

Hm, our xsl package doesn't seem to have an XSL sheet for converting
docbook-xml into plain text. How odd. And I can't seem to find an
html2txt tool when googling.
However, I simply brought up the giant book.html in 'links', which is
already rendering html to txt, and told it to "save formatted document",
named the file 'book.txt', and poof, I have a real book.txt. You can
use that as a workaround. Maybe we'll upload it the website too.

If you have ps2ascii or lynx available, you could convert them to text by
yourself.
ps2ascii
--------
1) Download book.pdf
2) ps2ascii book.pdf > book.txt
lynx
----
1) Download book.html (single page html edition)
2) lynx -dump -nolist book.html > book.txt
