I agree with Gour. I found txt2tags as a result of a discussion on the GTK2HS list. It is simple to use, readable as is, or easily transformable to a variety of targets. Also, it is consistent with bird-track literate Haskell, so I can run my .lhs documents through txt2tags and get html, latex, pretty text, or a bunch of things I haven't tried yet including *.doc (msword) (the latter via txt2tags for html, soffice to go from html to *.doc).

We already use DocBook XML, and I'm relatively pleased with it, except for the fact that it's far from easy to set up a working DocBook toolchain on your system unless your OS of choice is up to date and has a well-maintained set of DocBook packages.
I consider that the structure of the present ghc manual does not need such a rich markup as DocBook which is, imho, not very user-friendly.
otoh, I'd prefer something simple (if you want to get contributions from more users) like 'txt2tags'
(see e.g. http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html)
which enables one to do lot with very simple markup.
There are many targets supported, light sys-reqs, cli & gui, and even syntax highlighting for (g)vim, emacs, kate...
