The Linuxdoc-SGML system (now called SGML-Tools) can be used to create files in a variety of other formats, e.g., GNU info, HTML, LaTeX, TeX .dvi format, and PostScript (TM) files. sdc (SGML Document Compiler) is an alternative system that in some cases produces better output than SGML-Tools. SGML-Tools and sdc are available as Debian packages.
