<h2>About the LDP</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Linux Documentation Project is developing free, high quality documentation
|
|
for the GNU/Linux operating system. This includes the creation of HOWTOs and Guides,
|
|
and collaboration with other documentation groups.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you've always wanted to help Linux reach
|
|
Total World Domination(tm), but you're not a programmer,
|
|
there's still something you can do. Help the LDP!
|
|
|
|
<p>The LDP keeps a page of resources for authors at
|
|
<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/">http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/</a>.
|
|
Contributions are always welcome.

|
<p> This is about how to write HOWTOs using the simple LinuxDoc markup.
|
|
It's primarily for Linux Documentation Project authors (and future
|
|
fledging authors who want to get started fast). If you want to use
|
|
the more advanced DocBook markup (including XML) see the LDP Authoring
|
|
Guide.</li>

<h2>DocBook Processor</h2>
|
|
|
|
One of the most frustrating problems we deal with is the difficulty in
|
|
installing and configuring the DocBook tools. So, we found a way to do an end run around them.
|
|
We now have an email based service that will process your DocBook SGML files
|
|
and give you back the html via http.
|
|
|
|
<p>Once we get through a beta period and this service has proved to be stable
|
|
and reliable, we are going to offer it to the other documentation projects as well.
|
|
Please write to David Merrill at david -AT- lupercalia.net for more information.
|
|
|
|
<h2>OMF Support</h2>
|
|
|
|
Greg Ferguson of the LDP has put together a script that generates
|
|
<a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/osrt/omf">OMF</a>
|
|
(Opensource Metadata Framework) xml files directly from DocBook sources.
|
|
We are making this script available to any other documentation group
|
|
that would find it useful.
