<para>This document was started on Aug 26, 1999 by Mark
|
|
F. Komarinski after two day's worth of frustration getting tools
|
|
to work. If even one LDP author is helped by this, then I did my
|
|
job.</para>

Version 4 of this document was released in early 2004 by Emma Jane
|
|
Hogbin. A complete overhaul of the document was done to separate
|
|
the authoring HOWTOs from the technical HOWTOs. The review took
|
|
approximately eight months.

There are many ways to contribute to the Linux movement
|
|
that do not require the ability to produce software. One such way is
|
|
to write documentation. The availability of
|
|
easy-to-understand, technically accurate documentation can make a
|
|
world of difference to someone who is struggling with Linux
|
|
software. This Guide is designed to help you research and write a
|
|
HOWTO which can be submitted to the LDP. The appendices also include
|
|
sample templates, markup tips and information on how to transform
|
|
your document from DocBook to another format (such as HTML) for
|
|
easier proofreading.
