Jirka Kosek has created an XSLT stylesheet driver file for generating
HTML Help and continues to add features/parameters to it as they get
requested. The stylesheet driver file and Jirka's short tutorial on
using it are included in the standard DocBook docbook-xsl stylesheet
distribution in the htmlhelp subdirectory.

A copy of Jirka's "Using the XSL stylesheets to generate HTML Help"
tutorial is available at:

  http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=8375&group_id=21935
