- From my point of view, writing in DocBook is easy after looking at some
examples.
But installing the tools, dtd, etc is the hell.
I once got the whole stuff running, but unfortunately my computer crashed, and
now I'm unable to set up DocBook SGML again :-(
To review a own document before releasing it needs the tools installed.
The "LDP Author Guide" is generally a very valuable document, but I think it
would be great to rework parts of section 3, especially a guide how the tools
needs to be installed would be great (In the style like Martin made it in his
Mail) for both DocBook XML and SGML.
If someone can point me to the right way what is needed to get SGML up und
running again, any hints would be appreciated. (I then can start updating my
two HOWTOs :-)
