It would be advisable to investigate converting the IBM.htm directly into
docbook xml. The trouble with the Latex conversion is the reserved
characters (# . \ etc) in the htm don't map cleanly into Latex.
I suspect that docbook will never produce typeset pdf documents as
professional as Latex but the html should be acceptable. Knuth's Tex
algorithms are still the best.
I've done some work on using DocBook to make both web documents and
high-quality PDFs. The approach I used was to put LaTeX hints into the
DocBook elements using the 'role' attribute. Role is ignored by most
downstream processing, but you can easily write a DocBook-to-LaTeX
converter that uses these hints to invoke the right high-level LaTeX
constructs.
For example, the closest thing in DocBook to a LaTeX theorem is a
<formalpara>. If you mark up your document with <formalpara
role='theorem'>, the HTML converter does all it can, but the LaTeX
converter makes it a theorem.
I have Ruby code if anyone wants it.
