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,
norm
