No it doesn't. This is one of the BIGGEST misconceptions about the LDP
submission process. Please read:
http://tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/process.html
especially #2 and the additional note at the bottom. We will accept text
in *any* format. To be a part of the LDP's publishing process documents
which are not in either LinuxDoc or DocBook are converted by a volunteer.
An author does not need to install anything from the tool chain. They can
run their document through Saqib's on-line converter which is at:

If you'd like an easier markup language to work in than DocBook I
recommend taking a look at LinuxDoc.
Just out of curiosity, where did you read that a document must be
submitted in DocBook? I would like to correct the page that contains this
incorrect information.
thank you,
