Create CHM Help and PDF Guides from One Source

We are trying to find a set of tools for creating context-sensitive help files (CHM) and manuals (CHM and PDF) from the same sources.
Required Features:

  • can deal with hypertext
  • should be able to generate CHM and PDF from
  • should be able to integrate documentation created from code (currently XML comments)
  • cross file links would be great
  • plain text source format (SCM diff-able) would be really nice

I believe that almost every software store should have encountered this problem.
How do you do this? What tools do you use?
What is your experience?

Edit: I thought that every store offering Windows software would have to solve this problem, and many of you would have the opportunity to do so. I think I was wrong. although I still wonder how you do it all. In any case, thanks for the contribution of those who responded. We have not decided yet, but this generosity expires in a few hours. If someone does not come up with a great offer, as the answer suggesting that the docbook received the highest votes, I will choose it.
