We're using Docbook XML and the Docbook Modular Stylesheets (available on SourceForge). We have Epic as our editor and create PDF output through the XEP formatter (from Renderx). White papers and data sheets are best created using the Docbook Article as the root tag. White papers are actually pretty easy to produce; however, decent multi-column output requires quite a bit of XSL programming.
If you're borrowing a lot of material from a Docbook -based, single-source system, this is a sensible way to go. If you aren't, it probably makes more sense to use something other than a batch-oriented print processor.

Cheers,

Bill Lawrence

Is anyone here using an xml-based process to produce marketing documents
such as data sheets and whitepapers? If you do, what tools are you using
with the process? Are the tools or processes different from the one you use
for your technical documentation?

Thanks.
