DocBook XML 4.1.2 Quick Start Guide, http://www.jimweller.net/jim/dbxmlqs/index.html, Jim Weller.
Describes how to install, configure and use the tools and resources for DocBook XML 4.1.2. The purpose of this quick start guide is to get new docbook authors, editors, and contributors up and running fast with the DoocBook tools. These are powerful tool in the hands of an author. It assumes a fair knowledge of building and installing source packages. There are probably a million and one ways to accomplish my ultimate goal of installing and using these tools. This one works well for me. | ||

Linux Documentation Project HOWTO Generator, The, http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/The_LDP_HOWTO_Generator.html.
This is a standalone web page with a number of fields to fill in and a few buttons. When ready the compile button starts the compilation of all the input fields and wraps it all in proper LinuxDoc SGML, ready to process with the LinuxDoc SGML tools.
The compiled output is outputted to a read-only text area near the bottom of the webpage, so the text has to be copied and pasted into a file for compilation.
DocBook is not currently supported.
