Not sure how transferable to other projects it would be, but I'm pretty sure
I read the other day that the user manual for Phing (and probably any other
binarycloud-related PHP projects) is generated from a set of restricted HTML
files using XSLT to produce a number of other formats. Can't find where I
read that now, but the manual I was thinking of is here
http://phing.info/docs/guide/2.2.0/

Oh here: http://phing.info/trac/wiki/Development/HowToContribute - doesn't
say much but I believe these chaps hang about on IRC quite a lot so might be
worth asking them what they do + how.
