So you want to know how I generated this HOWTO? Or, did you download SGML version of this document, modified some portions in it and now want to know how you can create HOWTO?
I made sure there are no errors in my SGML by first typing the command nsgmls -s ataraid.sgml. I created a script called makehowto and ran the command ./makehowto ataraid.sgml. Here is the my makehowto script:

You can also just type ./makehowto ataraid.sgml pdf, for example, if you just want create PDF version. Just type ./makehowto to get more help on using the script. Click here to download this makehowto script.
