The Linux Documentation Project uses a custom SGML DTD based on QWERTZ for
smaller help oriented documents ("How Tos").  

The Linuxdoc-SGML tool converts SGML using the sgmls toolkit and replacement
text mapping files.  Output formats are LaTeX (to DVI and PostScript), HTML,
and plain text.  The tools are all freely available.
