You may author the DocBook-XML in any XML editor and use "dblatex" as
processor.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dblatex
This tool enables customization with XSLT and LaTeX.
Kind regards...

Thank you, Susanne. My goal, though, is to avoid LaTeX with this book. I
want to go as directly as possible to html, epub, and pdf.
LaTeX is great for typesetting. My current book looks very nice. The
problem is that many typesetting features that LaTeX provides simply do
not translate into html/epub. I realize that my new book will not have
many of these typographical features, but my goal is to make it more
widely available.
