If you want to convert XML into HTML, your best bet is XSLT. If you
don't mind the format of the HTML used for the existing online book,
you could just use the XSLT that I used.

It also helps to have an XML friendly editor. I personally use Emacs,
but that will start a long chain of responses, so I won't say it.

You could also work from the original LaTeX sources, but that can be
pretty confusing unless you know TeX.

Thanks for taking on this project
