Thanks for the info!
Yes this does look like DocBook XML.
Luckily, I have done some work withDocBook XML in the past - Almost 10
years ago now. In fact, I did use xsltproc as is mentioned in the
transformations page. My SGML is rustier - back from the late 90s!
I don't know if I will need to proofread that way.
Glad to know I can use something simple for editing like vim.
:)
