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...
