Hi Jeremiah,

Thanks for this post, what sort of technologies are you documenting? We do have 
open source documentation to get you started with the markup here:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/docs/

To get an overview of editing and processing these files, or the HowTo 
template, check out the tutorial here: 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/doc_collab/tutorial/

The sources are DocBook5 XML files. For detailed information about HTML and PDF 
generation from these files, take a look at 
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/doc_collab/tools/

We currently need some help to get a tested tool-chain to PDF, so, any thoughts 
you have on that after you have a chance to look at our tools page are 
welcomed. 

Inside Sun, we use some proprietary tools for PDF processing, which is part of 
why the PDF docs are so lovely. I've heard another recent request for details 
about how we produce PDF for commercial documentation, so I'll see if we can 
get a document together that describes what we do across all software 
publications at Sun to acheive this look/feel. 

Regards,
Michelle
