Open Office supports a set of Doc Book styles right now ... not sure I
understand what you are looking for. I have used DocBook before to make
online help (according to the eclipse writing guidelines). I used a tool
called XMLMind which was pretty scary but good once you got into it.
DocBook was much more suited to writing reference materials than
tutorials; but it at least has all the tags for button, menu and the
like so you can be specific when documenting software.
If you can try and stick to simplified docbook; save the gathering of
content into books for a script.

Greetings,
The education and curriculum group is looking into promoting DocBook
as a recommended format for content for tutorials and it might provide
useful resources to folks interested in producing software
documentation. There is interest in using OpenOffice as a writing tool
for DocBook and I'd like to know if any of you folks could help us
make progress in this area. The idea is to create templates so authors
write using a set of restricted styles in OpenOffice and then
transform the document to the DocBook format. My understanding is that
O'Reilly does something along these lines. Does anyone out there have
any contacts with O'Reilly that we can use to find out if they would
be willing to share their methods and templates? Can you think of
other ideas that would help us reduce the work required to do this
from scratch?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
All the best,
Ned
