I guess you like to customize your output a bit to match your site as
well. All of this can be done.
I actually described that paces it took me to get things going. And I use
it to bend the html output a lot to fit into different sites.
Just compare these two links created from the same SGML DocBook source:

http://www.nessus.org/doc/faq.html

I hope that helps.
