Please post (and CC me) the output you get. It may be something
trivial, but it's a long time since I used anything SGML so I probably
can't help.

SGML/DocBook is indeed the best solution. I suspect a lot of people
would like to the PDF output, and you can get that from SGML.

emacs has an SGML mode.

However, for something more GUIsh, see http://www.conglomerate.org/
(project seems dead, but the shoots are juicy - don't know if it's
actually usable). There's also http://members.nextra.at/hfbuch/edoc/
but I don't know if it's any good.

As for SGML/DocBook info, you are aware of http://www.docbook.org/,
right? And http://sgmltools-lite.sourceforge.net/
