Thank you, that worked real fine. If I had read the LDP Author Guide, I would have found this
" In Mandrake (as of my current 9.2), all the stuff including openjade, xmlto, docbook-utils etc. comes as standard.
So I just needed to get the TLDP XSL sheet"
But when you don't know what you are looking for, that's abit hard!
As an aside, I have just *made* my first how-to, as opposed to cut and pasting someone elses, it took a fair bit of time and although not complete got me going on xml
I started off with
http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/The_LDP_HOWTO_Generator.html but it generated tags that the validator didn't know (nidx was one I think)
I downloaded the "example" apache.xml on the vaildator, but it had one tag error, but fixing that set me going doing it manually.
The reference card at http://ydirson.free.fr/docbook/docbook.refcard.pdf is real good, highly recommended
I tried two editors, vim and cooledit which have syntax highlighting. I ended up using vim as it also placed tags for easy viewing (I really don't like vi, but in this case it was good)
FWIW
