I'm surprised you needed any magic at all. All I needed was this:
http://vergil.chemistry.gatech.edu/~park/dell.html#debian
"mini-HOWTO" sort of implies a connection to the Linux Documentation
Project; their author's guide and templates are here:
http://en.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/
http://en.tldp.org/authors/index.html#resources
Having been the HTML route one thing I most strongly recommend is to write
the doc in XML (preferable) or SGML and use the tools to convert to HTML.
