I tend to do things like a "rpm -ql <packagename>" to see what the
package (e.g. docbook) installed, then look for man files on likely
looking commands that I find.  When it comes to converting files, you
often find commands with names that look like "this2that," with "this"
and "that" being your desired input and output formats.

And simply Googling: docbook to html [1] produces what looks like a good
start on the first hit [2], and one a bit further down sounds
interesting, too [3].

I haven't tried docbook for years.  At the time, it seemed a more
convoluted way to produce documents than I needed.  And converting from
one format to another often involves compromises.

Yes, it does seemed aimed at one page conversions to a new page, rather
than compile a book out of several input pages.  But it can be used
either way, as far as I recall.

You are, most likely, asking in the wrong place, on here.  I don't just
mean making off-topic postings, but probably not having someone who has
the answer being here.
