I've been fooling around with producing a longer piece of documentation
using material from the tutorials, etc., using the docbook backend and
"book" doctype.  It's not working quite the way I'd expect.  For
example, it doesn't format the literal blocks correctly, and man page
links aren't producing useful clickable links.  Should I be going about
this some other way?

All I really want is automatically generated tables of contents and
cross-references.
