Dammit -- that's what I got for not lurking... :-)

Well, let's see...  Here's what I'm currently using:

docbook-3.1-4
jade-1.2.1-9
jadetex-2.7-2
psgml-1.0.3-2
sgml-common-0.1-8
stylesheets-1.54.13rh-1

(I've included psgml here just to let people know that, if you want to use
Emacs and psgml-mode, I've had problems using the above RPMs with psgml
versions > 1.0.3, in that it cannot read the pre-parsed DTD it saved.)

I'll also state that we use these tools to produce "give-to-customer"
quality HTML, and "copy-editing" quality Postscript.  For final-quality
print, we use Arbortext's Adept*Publisher software.  So if you do a db2ps
and wonder why your output doesn't look like our manuals, now you'll know
why... :-)
