Hello Michael,

Indeed, we are using some tools to create the handbook. We are glad you
like the results ;)

Generally you would need to install the textproc/docproj-jadetex port

For details on using this, please read the fdp-primer here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/

Generally, it would be much easier if you start by installing the
software and using it to compile the FreeBSD documentation first.
You can then easily pick up a ready e.g. article and use it as a stub to
create your own.  This is not really a difficult process.

I'll be glad to help you on your first steps, just email me directly
with your questions.

Cheers,
Manolis
