Right. ;-)

I wrote them. There is a main script, then there are some (moderately elaborate) sed
and awk scripts. You press the button, they do the rest - of course only if the
whole TeX, LaTeX, Openjade, DocBook etc. machinery is already installed.
They are not yet publicly available - BUT: Give me 2 weeks time and they will be
:-). I am currently writing the description to those scripts and, I must say, it has
been an undertaking without precedence for me (taking into account that we are
talking about a few scripts): I am at 105 pages and still have to describe the
Bibliography part...
I will be offline for 5 days, I hope as soon as I return I will be able to finish
the document within a week or so.
Without a description of what is going on, you will be lost, so I am reluctant to
release them without one.

Thanks - did you look at all the formats or only the HTML?

Be mentally prepared: you will *have* to read the document on my scripts, if you
want to use them, and it is just as long a reading - even longer! :-D (O.K., just
kidding a little, you will not need to read that much to *use* them, only if you
also want to *understand* them).
