>One of the things that makes learning DocBook difficult is that

the sites related to it tend to overwhelm the newbie with long lists

of W3C standards, massive exercises in markup theology, and dense

thickets of abstract terminology. We're going to try to avoid that
|

here by giving you just a few selected references to look at.</P
