Superb documentation

[Anthony Michael Agelastos]

Hello,

I've been a long-time user of FreeBSD partially due to the superb  
documentation it provides.  Anyways, I am curious about how this  
documentation is built.  I am a n00b when it comes to this sort of  
thing, but it appears that you use DocBook and some style sheets to  
auto-generate and auto-format the documentation.  I am familiar with  
the concept of DocBook since I use LaTeX but am not even sure where to  
begin even attempting it.  Do you have any recommended pieces of  
software that help in speeding things along?  What software do you use  
to create the final document?  Thank you for your insight into this.

Regards,

Anthony
