The way i did this was i template a docbook file. I then process this
via one of two XSLT stylesheets to produce XHTML output, or LaTeX output
that I then run through pdflatex as normal. I used XML::LibXSLT which
uses the gnome C lib.
I prolly could have by-passed the docbook step and just transformed the
HTML into LaTeX.
I am unsure of how this rates on the 'eww evil' scale, but it Works For
Me. Let me know if you want the exact details of how i did it/the
stylesheets etc.
