I guess this is what I get for not posting a
URL. :-) http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/ htmldoc is GPL, so use it how
you like.

We use just straight Jade, as the db2 scripts weren't very portable, and
because we NEED good PS/PDF output. The only thing that we're still
working on is good text support.

Take a look at the LDP Authors Guide
http://www.LinuxDoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/
It's got a great deal of information on what the LDP is using. I'm
actually working on a jade wrapper using make rather than the stuff that
the docbook tools project has done, as this is exactly what make is
designed for. I hope to have something worth showing off early next
year.
