Try to get the DocBook tools. Most linux distributions come with it
and using Debian you'll be able to install it with: apt-get install
docbook-utils.

After installation a db2html will convert the file to html but it
looks pretty boring without any DSSSL and/or CSS script.

I assume you want to know about the tags. Check out www.docbook.org
and download the docbook guide there. It will explain which tags
exist and how to use them. It should be possible to figure the rest
out by having a look at the provided example though I might watch
out for a tutorial if you like.

Tables can be created using the <table> tag and creating <tgroup>s
within which would translate to <tr> tags in HTML. Unlike HTML where it
was (and unfortunately still is) quite common to use tables for
formatting purposes this is pretty impossible in DocBook; the tables
are only formal and thus probably not of much of for this doc-project.
