So ... after I've run db2html on my *.sgml files, Am I supposed to edit the
outputted html to include CSS style sheets? If so, that's alot of work to
throw away everytime I re-run db2html. I'm sure I'm misunderstanding how to
do this ... any help appreciated.

It took me a few weeks to get docbook setup on this box correctly (a RPITA),
and I'm not sure what it would take to get the xsl stuff going (as that was
another suggestion). Why is docbook not not packaged any easier?
