FWIW, I'm currently just writing my own; it's not as hard as it
sounds. It's a ruby script that converts our pseudo-docbook
directly into HTML or LaTeX, with the assumption that from those two
we can get anything else (very likely using pandoc CLI in some
cases, by the way).
I would be concerned about relying on a proprietary solution. How complicated is the the code? Who will maintain it after you no longer can? etc.
It's reasonably ready for other people to look at, I've just been in
the middle of a ridiculous crunch at dayjob.
Link?
