I personally love DocBook. Works very well for this type of thing. I can't comment on LaTeX as I've never used it, but I'm sure its very similar. If you want to see a project which uses DocBook, check out the Asterisk-Docs project. Obviously a work in progress, but its allowed us to very simply generate HTML and PDFs.
