And that is the only work which needs to be done. I tried to get a LaTeX
expert on this to create a LaTeX template, which is similar to the
existing quick_reference. But he don't have the time on this.

The only work which needs to be done is to write a stylesheet which does
the transformation from XML -> LaTeX.

It would be nice to have a LaTeX template which calculates the columns
automatically depending on the text content. I think there are already
LaTeX templates out there which do this.

Maybe a good task to work on during LGM and to fix:
