- docbook-xml -- DocBook XML for Debian
- -------------------------------------
-
- DocBook is pretty much the standard for software documentation. It is managed
- by a committee formed at OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of
- Structured Information Standards <URL:http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/>.
- More information on DocBook, including the user support community for it, can
- be found at <URL:http://www.docbook.org/>.
-
- This package contains the XML versions of the version 4.x DTDs. The 'docbook'
- package contains the SGML DTDs. A number of customization packages are also
- available, generally used to mark up specialized subsets or special
- applications of DocBook XML. Rather than list them here, please do
- 'apt-cache search docbook-xml'.
-
- Version 5 of DocBook XML is a complete rewrite of DocBook in RELAX NG. It's
- available in a separate package 'docbook5-xml'.
-
- A wonderful introduction and reference is available in the docbook-defguide
- package, which can also be read online at <URL:http://www.docbook.org/tdg/>.
- A FAQ is maintained by Dave Pawson at <URL:http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/>.
- Consider these documents before you send a question.
-
- If you wish to format DocBook documents, you'll want to apply a stylesheet to
- the document, in conjunction with a processor which applies the style. The
- available stylesheets for DocBook are the docbook-dsssl' ('docbook-dsssl-doc')
- and 'docbook-xsl' ('docbook-xsl-doc') packages, for DSSSL and XSL stylesheets,
- respectively. Instructions on operating those stylesheets and DSSSL or XSL
- processors is beyond the scope of this README. The documentation for the
- mentioned packages and the Debian SGML/XML HOWTO at
- <URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/misc-manuals#sgml-howto> should
- give some guidance.
