Is there any kind of a quick start or howto guide for formatting DocBook
documents using tools for Linux?
The main thing I want to accomplish is to format my documents into HTML,
with PDF coming in second.
I see a lot of tools and stylesheets and stuff available (Jade, etc.)
but I don't know how to put them all together.
I'm responsible for writing the documentation for the ZooLib
cross-platform application framework (http://zoolib.sourceforge.net).
We're going to use DocBook for it, and I'm afraid I haven't gotten
anywhere in getting any actually written in part because I don't know
how to build or use the toolchain.
ZooLib's author says he has a program that converts DocBook to HTML on
his linux distribution but I don't find on on Slackware 7.1.
