Mark covers some of this in the HOWTO-HOWTO : "Getting Started with
|
|
LinuxDoc", but it's not exactly what you are looking for.
|
|
|
|
We could/should put something like this together and put it in
|
|
the HOWTO-HOWTO...quick ref tag guide for LinuxDoc and DocBook.

Correct on both accounts.

NO! I'm strongly opposed to extending the vanilla DocBook DTD!!
|
|
Please let's stick to the standard. <article> should work just fine
|
|
for any and all HOWTOs; if not, then go with <book> as your
|
|
top-level container element. DocBook is such a rich, full-featured
|
|
DTD, I can't really see us needing anything beyond what it already
|
|
offers (at this point anyway).
|
|
|
|
Certainly extend the DSSSL stylesheets, if so desired, to give a
|
|
"LDP-look" to the derived HTML/print outputs -- but for processing
|
|
purposes, document exchange, author convenience, and many other
|
|
reasons -- let's stick with the stock DocBook DTD.
