I have used Docbook, and it is really good.

However, docbook doesn't yet have an info maker and info is still the chosen
doc platform for GNU. There's good reason for that, docbook may be the new
and sexy thing but it still doesn't have the widespread support of info. And
in many ways info is superior (it's lighter for one thing).

The GNU project is working on a javadoc -> info tool. That is being done by
the Classpath Tools project, which is part of Classpath.

Hopefully we will eventually have docbook -> info too, I'm sure someone is
working on it somewhere.
