Further to my previous mail I have put what I have so far on to my 
website at www.zleap.net under downloads, then under a tldp directory, 

I need to figure out docbook but perhaps before then work out how to 
create the document so it all fits on a4 landscape so it looks like some 
of the guides out there, as the one I have for TeX all fits on to A4 as 
a double sided landscape document and looks really nice. 

Hope this helps

Paul
