[Scilab-users] xmltopdf() broken : workaround ?

[Samuel Gougeon]

An external tool converting the jar help file into a PDF version would 
also be convenient.

Each jar file generated by Scilab's documentation compiler for each 
language version of the help
already includes all useful components (CSS styles, .toc = structure of 
the chapter, etc).
