Re: The Tutorial

[Morten Kvistgaard Nielsen]

Sorry to intrude, but have you considered using XXE for editing DocBook (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/)? The standard edition is free to use. My experience is limited to fairly simple documents, but sofar it has been OK for people not comfortable with editing the raw XML.

If you are feeling experimental you could try OpenOffice's DocBook filters (experimental).

DocBook is an encoding, not a rendering.  From DocBook, you can (on
the fly) generate HTML, MsWord, PDF, RTF, XHTML, and WAP, just to name
a few.  I think those cover /most/ people ;)

The difficulty with DocBook, and I won't kid you, is the tools to
write it; many of us are comfortable in Emacs and psgml-mode is an
excellent if ugly way to code DocBook, but outside the Emacs world,
unless you have $500 to spend on ArborText or some other pro editor,
there are not many viable options.
