Hi Chris,

Currently I am using HTML to do my own write up. However I am looking for a tool 
that will create a table of content automatically and allow me to export the 
document in different formats, like html or pdf or plain text.

I know DocBook format is one such tool, but I am wondering what the print 
publisher use? For your published book with Apress, did you write the entire 
book in html and hand this over to them for printing.
