Typically one can just use the DocBook XSL files (or other tooling, like 
db2latex) and not have to write their own, or only write a few specific 
things. But the XSL files in OTP are pretty big, and there's also some 
pretty big Erlang code around it. I'm not sure why. It's possible that 
the DocBook tooling wasn't that great when this was first written.
