Simon Anderson was <ulink

with the LDP author guide and DocBook, and wondered why the LDP used
DocBook even though <quote>Everyone reads HOWTO's in html
anyway</quote>. In response Chris Karakas <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4833:200307:eiekdlajdgeofpemfdln">explained</ulink>
why the separation of presentation of content from the content itself
was important. Several people had <ulink

Simon Anderson to deal with <ulink

the problems</ulink> that he was facing. Tabatha also <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4815:200307:pjodbfhkoeponcdaajjl">mentioned</ulink>
that the author guide was being reviewed and revamped by Emma Jane
