In this third article in the series, discover how to create single-source documents that can produce output in a variety of different output formats. http://tc.eserver.org/34784.html http://tc.eserver.org/34784.html DocBook is a set of tools for implementing XML (Extended Markup Language)-based structured documentation. It is developed back in 1991 and is widely used today by those technical writers who generate single-sourced documentation. It is especially well suited for software, hardware and networking documentation. http://tc.eserver.org/31161.html http://tc.eserver.org/31161.html Having new DocBook standards in place may do little to push adoption. An important factor in driving user adoption is the availability of software that implements the standard. It would be interesting to see whether big software companies would jump on the bandwagon...Unless the open-source community comes to the rescue! http://tc.eserver.org/27740.html http://tc.eserver.org/27740.html Gets you started with DocBook, an SGML/XML dialect that describes the content of technical articles and other documents. David discusses the benefits of using DocBook, and then describes how to plan and modularize a large document conversion project. http://tc.eserver.org/26373.html http://tc.eserver.org/26373.html This howto attempts to clear the fog and mystery surrounding the DocBook markup system and the tools that go with it. It is aimed at authors of technical documentation for open-source projects hosted on Linux, but should be useful for people composing other kinds on other Unixes as well.
