DOCBOOK-APPS: What are the steps to convert to DocBook XML?

Hi,

Assuming I was interested in converting to DocBook XML, what are the steps?

1. How do I get my current SGML source converted?

2. If and when I have DocBook SML source, how to I convert it to PDF? It
looks like PassiveTex is part of the answer ... Looks like I need an XSLT,
does Sablotron do all I am likely to need?

Regards
