Yes and no. It's pretty easy to spot documents that have been written
in LinuxDoc and translated to HTML, they all have the same look and feel.
However, there's nothing to stop people customising Norm's stylesheets,
or writing their own. At the moment, his are the de-facto standard
for DocBook -> HTML conversion, and they work pretty well. As
doc/sgml/freebsd.dsl shows, they can be customised and chunks can be
rewritten, even by a DSSSL neophyte like myself, which is something.

I don't think you need to. From what I can see, it should either be a
case of
pdftex "&jadetex" handbook.tex
or
pdfjadetex handbook.tex
I'm pretty certain one of those two should work, when JadeTeX is properly
installed.
