See what happens if you misspell 'para'. It's still a programming paradigm. Same goes for html. At least if you want it to validate or do anything significant that requires php, etc. Docbook is an instance of XML. That's Extended Meta *Language*. It requires the same steps as C, perl, bash scripts, php, javascript, etc. The basic skills are all the same. The only real difference is the API. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
