I'm very interested in this -- I was just about to post to the list
suggesting that in parallel to all our efforts to document the setup
procedures for a Docbook processing workstation (I've actually been
writing a generalised one for SGML for academics for a while now); the
LDP also set up a web site where authors may submit markup for:
a) validation / parsing (according to DTD used)
b) rendition into a,b,c,d... presentation format(s)
thus obviating the need for non-tecnically inspired authors to go
through the trauma of setting up their own processing environment
locally.
(Didn't David Merrill use to have a site that did this? Can't remember
the URL offhand. His old site seems to have disppeared, too.)
Would your site be suitable for this, Saqib?
What sort of DTD library can it cope with?
