EXCELLENT news!
In case you're interested, I sent email to Jim Weller with big thank yous
and kudos for writing such a wonderful quick start. I think he definitely
deserves credit for making it easier for us!
For readers of this forum, his link again:
http://www.jimweller.net/jim/dbxmlqs/index.html - Called "DocBook XML 4.1.2
Quick Start Guide", this guide also covers sgml.
Happy writing!
Tabatha
