DocBook SGML. Debian is one of the very few Linux distributions that has
a decently working installation of DocBook. In case you don't know it,
DocBook is a DTD of SGML, just as HTML is, and it defines all kinds of
tags that help you structure book-like documents. Translation to HTML is
straightforward. Translation to other formats goes through LaTeX.
See http://www.docbook.org .
