It is possible to render DocBook documents transformed with pandoc:


But pandoc doesn't support specifying options for the output format? 
That would be unfortunate ...

Erudite needs a DocBook book file at the moment, but I don't think I can 
tell pandoc to create it, I have to do it myself manually.

DocBookEruditeBook new
     title: 'CuisReadme';
     file: '/home/marian/src/Cuis/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/CuisREADMEBook.xml' 
asFileEntry;
     edit.

Using files attached in this email. I used this for generation:

pandoc README.md -t docbook5 -o CuisREADME.docbook

It would be possible to change Erudite not to require a Book DocBook 
file I suppose, but it would be better if Pandoc supported its generation.
