DocBook

What is DocBook?

DocBook is a SGML DTD (a set of tags for a text file) that is very useful for writing documentation. Most of the GNOME documentation is written in DocBook. To find out more, look at Oasis's DocBook pages at http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook. There is also a good tutorial for DocBook at http://nis-www.lanl.gov/~rosalia/mydocs/docbook-intro.html.

The version of DocBook, and related tools, as used by GNOME can be found at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/home/rosalia/docware. Tarballs and binary RPMs are both available there.
