I am editing the Securing and Optimizing Red Hat Linux
|
|
Guide and converting it to SGML. This is my first Linux contribution.
|
|
|
|
Since this is my first post to the list, I'll let you know that I am new to
|
|
Linux. I asked Gerhard Mourani, the author, if he would mind my editing the
|
|
document, as French is his native language, and I speak English natively. I
|
|
just joined the list to help me learn what I need to do to accomplish the
|
|
conversion. This is pretty much what you recommended.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I have found the SGML information quite comprehensive so far. I have had
|
|
problems getting the SGML tools properly installed, and have still not been
|
|
successful. But the SGML / DocBook information is pretty good.
