It was translated from DocBook to LaTeX using some tools I developed
in house.  The filter itself is a Perl5 script that is driven by the
ESIS output from sgmls.  Each tag in the DTD is represented by a class
(in the object-oriented sense) in Perl.  We have a more robust script,
using the same design, that filters from DocBook to troff for printing
our books (Graphic File Formats, Managing Internet Information
Systems, both of the Linux books and a couple of others have been
printed this way).  I'm also working on a DocBook to RTF filter on the
same design, but that's really primitive at the moment.

We're writing a book describing the tools and we'll be releasing the
whole package as soon as that is ready (no title or release date yet).

Hope that helps...
                                                  Cheers,
