Well, you're going to get flamed for that last comment. TeX is very good
for producing ps/pdf. Whilst I'm a visual DTP sucker, I can still value the
beautiful text that comes from the average TeX processed document. Lovely
stuff.
DocBook is perfect for what you're doing though (and you can process it
with TeX as well!) so you should check out docbook.org, read the definitive
guide (O'Reilly book also published on docbook.org) and if you feel like it,
grab the GNOME Project's docbook stylesheets - they're very yummy. You
can find them on the GDP site on gnome.org.
Get in touch if you need help setting it up or anything.
