I was - long time ago - a linuxdoc user and like LyX do write technical 
documents of limited complexity. I never had time to learn LaTeX nor 
Docbook (the books are on my table, but I'm too busy)

however I try to help the LDP, not only writing a very marginal HOWTO 
(partition rescue), but also trying to find a suitable docbook 
generator. vi and emacs are not at all advisables in a general 
environment and beeing french I have problems with accented characters.

OpenOffice will probably be a good contender, but still in e very 
preliminary phase (one can export docbook, but only with great difficulty)

LyX is another, but lacks _only_ the revhistory tag. my last HOWTO 
version had to be edited by hand and this gives a revhistory of no 
interset (empty).

if ever you can manage to have a simple LyX->docbook way, it will be a 
great news :-)

it is not reasonable to ask for as many time to learn the format than to 
write the content.

sincerely your
jdd

I thought AbiWord could handle DocBook?
