you should look at cvsview.tldp.org. pull out a working howto or guide and 
check what they do. thats the best method to learn.

just dont worry about formatting. there is no point in worrying about 
formatting if you use docbook. worry about content. thats the whole point or 
use a word processor.

use these links to check your stuff if you want to take a look at *one* of the 
possible outputs

http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/tldp/http://url.to.your/howto.xml

http://validate.sf.net

whoever is revamping the author guide consider adding these links. saqib can 
send some content for help
