Please take a look at:

http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

It has been generated using 'hevea', which is unavailable on alioth
unfortunately. I've already requested its installation at admin@alioth.d.o.

There is just *one* drawback: dirtree.sty, which the LaTeX source uses for
generating the SVN repository tree, is not a standard style, and hevea doesn't
know about it. As you can see in the page linked above, the result is kinda
weird. There are two possible solutions:

a) write a macro for hevea, "refactoring" dirtree.sty
b) use some environments provided by 'hevea.sty' (which comes with the package
hevea itself):

\begin{htmlonly}
\begin{latexonly}

Thus, with 'latexonly', we'd use dirtree.sty; with 'htmlonly' we'd use the
'pstricks trick' -- I believe hevea recognizes pstricks :). I'd choose option
b), I think creating a new macro is just too complex (at least for me)

Kindly,
David

P.S.: to generate the html:

# apt-get install hevea
$ hevea policy.tex
$ svn commit policy.html
