DocBook allows to concentrate on the semantics, while OOo focuses on the presentation. That makes DocBook a better format for documentation. You can derive presentation from semantics, not the contrary. Okay, using a lot of styles in OOo may help. But still, one has to keep that funbdamental difference in mind. Besides that, almost all Open Source projects now use DocBook. -- Si on ne peut pas toujours compter sur ses amis, on peut toujours compter son or.
