I want to give it a fighting chance first. :) I know that the words need
to be modified as well (I can't exactly refer to the sidebar anymore).

Thanks. :) I'm working on this one right now:
http://linuxdoc.com/howto/emacs_sgml/index.lxp?lxpwrap=x77%2ehtm
(that page only, really)
and following the structure of this:
http://cvsview.tldp.org/index.cgi/*checkout*/LDP/howto/docbook/RedHat-CD-HOWTO/RedHat-CD-HOWTO.sgml?rev=1.4&content-type=text/plain
I installed all the emacs/sgml stuff but I'm butterfingers when it comes
to emacs. I've flipped back to vim and am just going through trying to
figure out what should be what. I've converted the easy stuff: title,
emphasis para, ulink, screen; added sections (sect1, sect2); and added
the author notes at the beginning of the file. Tomorrow will be unordered
lists, definition lists, kbd and var.
The syntax coloring in vim tells me whether or not the tag is valid.
(Yellow = yes, blue = no)
I'll try to revise the text as I go to take out the text references to a
"side bar" -- I'm pretty sure I can still link internally within the
document, but I'm too tired to remember what the element is right now.
I'll let you know if I run into any other major problems.
