Hello,

currently my company is thinking about transferring its user documentation 
into XML and docbook.
Since we are an IT company, XML and programming in general is not a 
problem. But: We cannot find and adjust the stylesheet needed to create 
our custom documentation.
We are currently setting up a prototype for our documentation, following 
the instructions from Walsh´s "DocBook 5: The definitive Guide" and 
working with the XML Mind Editor and a trial version of "OXYGEN Editor".

Basically, we are satisfied with the results and trust in docbooks 
function (since having lots of trouble with Word), but the lacking 
transparency makes it really hard to come up with a sample documentation/ 
prototype .Each file we open has at least one reference to a website we 
cannot open and dozens of files that don´t exist or are really hard to 
find. We checked the regular docbook.zip from the docbook homepage, but 
also all  files of the respective editors. (Is there something as a 
"default" Docbook editor that you would propose?)

Can anyone give me some advice, a link or even a how-to for adjusting the 
docbook stylesheet? Personally, I would love to use docbook for our user 
documentation, simply for the additional features it has compared to other 
text processing program, but only if I can adjust the appearance. 
Especially regarding corporate identity this is absolutely necessary.

Thanks and with best regards,


D. Keyes
