Since documents marked up in DocBook tend to have fewer structural errors, I've
used those to make sure I've gotten other things set up right.

The DocBook XSL guide is available online:
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html";>http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html</a>
and starts with a quick set-up sequence:
XSL
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/XSLprocessors.html";>http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/XSLprocessors.html</a>
FO
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/FOprocessors.html";>http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/FOprocessors.html</a>
then getting the stylesheets:

&gt; I think you'd have a lot more success generating XML instead of HTML.  Then 
&gt; you can convert the XML to HTML easily (e.g. with XSLT).  A quick google 
&gt; search will turn up any number of XML-&gt;PDF systems.  A good one loks like FOP
&gt; 
&gt; from the Apache Project: <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://xml.apache.org/fop/";>http://xml.apache.org/fop/</a>
&gt; 
&gt; It says: FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the world's first print 
&gt; formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and the world's first 
&gt; output independent formatter. It is a Java application that reads a 
&gt; formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified 
&gt; output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML 
&gt; (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT. The primary output 
&gt; target is PDF.
