Publisher comments
What is DocBook? DocBook is a collection of standards and tools for technical publishing. DocBook was originally created by a consortium of software companies as a standard for computer documentation. But the basic "book" features of DocBook can be used for other kinds of content, so it has been adapted to many purposes.
A DocBook file contains no information about how to format it. That information is kept in a separate stylesheet file. The most powerful and flexible stylesheets for DocBook are the DocBook XSL stylesheets written by Norman Walsh. These free stylesheets can produce HTML and print output from the same DocBook files. DocBook XSL: the Complete Guide provides complete information for using the DocBook XSL stylesheets.
