DocBook -> Boost documentation?

Is there any XSLT file to convert a DocBook to a Boost library documentation (the HTML files everybody uses)? I've been clicking around on the Boost website to find out how a library documentation is created but could only find http://www.boost.org/development/requirements.html#Documentation which refers to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_34_1/more/writingdoc/index.html (which basically says everyone may do what he wants).

Boost uses the general DocBook XSLT files. You can get them from the DocBook project (or have the BoostBook installer python script download them). Sebastian

But there is probably a customization layer used (as the HTML files refer for example to a Boost CSS stylesheet)?

Thanks for the keyword BoostBook! I had to use a search engine now to find http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/boostbook.html. How am I supposed to find the BoostBook documentation starting at the homepage http://www.boost.org/? I've been clicking on every category including development and documentation but without a search engine I would have never found it? Boris

Boost Home -> Documentation -> Tools -> BoostBook
At Boost Home -> Documentation there is this list: o Tools o Boost Jam o Boost Build This list tells me that there are two tools (namely Jam and Build). I never thought of clicking on Tools to check if there are more than two tools. It would be better if there are either no tools listed at all (then I would have surely clicked on Tools) or the entire list which can be found when clicking on Tools is put there (and not only Jam and Build which made me think there are no other tools).
