Take a look at the newly released article "Getting started with the
DocBook XML dialect" by David Mertz at IBM's developerWorks site:
http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/xml-matters3.html
At the end of the article, he writes:
This column provides you with only enough information to get a
general sense of DocBook. Subsequent columns will cover DocBook tags
in greater detail and describe how they are structured. In addition,
I have yet to discuss how to convert DocBook documents to more
directly readable formats, how to validate them, and how to perform
processing operations on them. Stay tuned.
...so it sounds like David has in mind to write a series of "how to"
articles on DocBook. I don't know if he subscribes to docbook-apps,
but I've sent a note to him suggesting the he might want to look to
the list for feedback on the article and for suggestions on the
other DocBook articles he has planned.
