TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.

Hi Robert,
We use a set of open-source DocBook stylesheets with some customizations. We use the stylesheets to generate xsl:fo (which we process with a proprietary tool called RenderX to get PDF) and ePub (we generate Kindle books using Amazon's ePub to Kindle converter, kindlegen).
The DocBook stylesheets also can generate HTML (including HTML5), CHM, java help, web help, and no doubt some other formats I've forgotten:-).
