The best viewer for Mallard at the moment is Yelp, which depends on
gnome-doc-utils amongst other things (including gconf and dbus). I think
Shaun McCance was working on splitting g-d-u out into a desktop-neutral
package, and I seem to remember some talk of Xfce using Yelp too. I'm
not sure about the status of either of those things, though.

If you like, you can use gnome-doc-utils to build Mallard files out into
HTML documents, which only require a web browser to be viewed. You lose
Yelp's specialised features, but it still works quite well. The Project
Mallard website is written in Mallard and converted to HTML [1].

Thanks,

Phil
