I find a lot of queries regarding getting DocBook/[SGML, XML] working
on these mailing lists ... but strangely, I have never had any problem
with getting them working for me.
All I had to do was to install the right rpm/deb package (and this is
as simple as doing rpm -i list-of-rpms-with-the-word-"docbook"-in-them
or apt-get install docbook-utils)
All my .sgml or .xml files would be rendered to all beautiful formats
using the docbook2html, docbook2txt, docbook2pdf etc. scripts. Really,
I never bothered to look into jade, dssl, whatever. I don't even know
how these tools work. They just work fine for me as far as authoring
documents is concerned.
Try the above once and let me know if it doesn't work for you. And, as
several people have already mentioned on the list, you can even submit
a document in .txt/.html format, someone or the other will do the markup
for you. We also have things like http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/tidy/
