Background

  I have been asked to put together a publication tool
  chain that can generate both HTML and PDF from XML
  source documents.  Cocoon seems like a good match for
  this project, but I am concerned about the amount of
  effort that the "start-up" phase will require.

  We are starting from a pair of documents.  One (the
  tutorial) exists as XML files; it has been published
  using AurigaDoc.  The other (the manual) exists as a
  few hundred HTML files.

Questions:

  What standard (or at least common :-) flavors of XML
  markup are used in the Cocoon community?  I've seen a
  few references to DocBook; is it a reasonable choice?

  What tool(s) exist to convert random HTML into Cocoon-
  friendly XML?  HTML Tidy is a good start, but XHTML
  isn't (for example) DocBook...

Any advice, comments, or pointers would be appreciated.
