Thanks for making this work for DocBook exporter.  I have not tried
ditaa, but I am glad to know that everything works with DocBook with
your simple patch.

Can ditaa generate SVG images from ASCII arts?  I'll be more interested
if ditaa can generate SVN format, however it seems that it only supports
bitmap images.

I did a quick search and found that there is another project called
aafigure that can produce SVG images from ASCII arts:

   http://docutils.sourceforge.net/sandbox/cliechti/aafigure/

Does anyone know any other better tools for generating SVG images?

Thanks,
Baoqiu
