FYI, in response to requests for more info about how we actually work with the documentation internally here at e-smith, I've put together a document that describes it at: http://www.e-smith.org/docs/docprocess.html I will warn you that setting up a system to process DocBook documents is not a trivial task. There are other tools out there, too, beyond the ones that we use. For instance, most Red Hat Linux systems come with tools of the format "db2pdf"... do 'ls /usr/bin/db2*' on a stock RH system (not an e-smith server). Those tools will take a DocBook file and generate the appropriate output. The XML tools are also also supposedly maturing to the point where they are stronger, too. The challenge we had is that we wanted some finer control over layout than was provided by the "db2xxx" commands. So I had to plunge into this whole world of things to make it all work. It took a long time and was quite an involved process. The good news now, of course, is that I can create a DocBook SGML file - or someone can send me one - and with basically one command (a call to a script) I can generate HTML, PDF, and text from that one file. I could also generate RTF or MIF (for FrameMaker), but I have not had any need to do so. In any event, the document is up there. Comments are welcome.
