I dare say a number of people have tackled the similar HTML/XHTML/CSS for authoring on the www, whereas few have tackled a manpage or suchlike. With regards a huge toolset, for the FreeBSD docs you don't need TeX to produce the HTML version. The HTML can also always be converted to postscript using, for example, Firefox for hardcopy. Apologies for the big snip but I didn't particularly want to reply to any one point & wanted to avoid redundancy. Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
