DocBook is a DTD maintained by the DocBook Technical Committee of
|
|
OASIS. It is particularly well suited to books and papers about
|
|
computer hardware and software (though it is by no means limited
|
|
to these applications).
|
|
|
|
Because it is a large and robust DTD, and because its main structures
|
|
correspond to the general notion of what constitutes a "book",
|
|
DocBook has been adopted by a large and growing community of authors
|
|
writing books of all kinds.
|
|
|
|
DocBook is supported "out of the box" by a number of commercial
|
|
tools, and there is rapidly expanding support for it in a number
|
|
of free software environments.
|
|
|
|
This ports installs all versions of the DocBook SGML DTD from
|
|
versions 3.x and 4.x, and the last major release on the 2.x branch.
|
|
The XML versions include the latest one, and a few other commonly
|
|
used revisions.
|
|
|
|
If you are creating a new document, always try to use the latest
|
|
version of the DTD.

There is a free online copy of O'Reilly's definitive guide to DocBook
|

available at http://www.docbook.org/tdg/html/docbook.html
