I have Apache Cocoon installed on my machine. And it can do a pretty good
job of validating, and you can see the output as well (to verify the
presentation). Easy to install as well. Take about 20 mins.

I have documented the installation instruction @
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/openjade.html#N4004BD
(Infact this document is hosted on Cocoon)

- 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 :-)

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?

David Merrill is developing http://www.lampadas.org/ . It is all inclusive
Documentation Management System, with Wiki, CVS and a whole lotta other
goodies.

Cocoon is a very simple way of converting DocBook XML 4.1.2 to HTML, PDF,
RTF etc.

The way I have setup the server is that you can drop a file into the
http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/ folder by using WebFolder under IE 5.0/6.0
(File -> Open (check Open as Web Folder))

And then you can access the HTML rendering of it using

http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/{howto_name}.html
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/{howto_name}.pdf

e.g.
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/openjade.html
http://www.xml-dev.com:8080/cocoon/mount/docbook/Apache-WebDAV-LDAP-HOWTO.html

Currently it is only capable of handeling DocBook XML 4.1.2

If anyone wants to test-drive the system, I can create a account for you,
and you can drop in the HOWTO in the http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/

I think I had readed a mail from David that he gived up lampadas? (Maybe I'm 
wrong)

What is about SGML? would be a benefit if it is possiblem since lots of 
Documents are written in SGML

And I also a have online HTML validator that validates against the HTML
4.01 DTD (1998/12/25) @ http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/test.php

I think I can plugin DocBook DTD into this to create a online validator for

What is about SGML? would be a benefit if it is possiblem since lots of
Documents are written in SGML

I tried to validate http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Apache-Compile-HOWTO/index.html

Not a surprise, the result was, that the document is invalid, because the HTML 
does not have <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">

SGML also does not work, because your valdator looks like it only checks for 
HTML? 

Anyway, the cocoon stuff looks great!

Yup you need to have the DocType Definition. It says in the DTD ;)

Yup for DocBook SGML/XML , I will have to plugin a different DTD.

He says he's still working on it but at a slower pace.
