That's why my e-mail address is listed. I've had probably close to a dozen
|
|
people so far send me comments, and most of them have been added.
|
|
I'm not claiming to be an SGML or DocBook expert, I just want to make it
|
|
easier for people to write in it. Comments from everyone who reads or
|
|
uses it is more than welcome!
|
|
|
|
Please send me your comments and I'll review (and probably incorporate) them.

|

|

Agreed. I have both, so I maybe do have a "geekiness" to my works.

|
|
|
|
I got some documentation for PSGML, which is either on the version already
|
|
on linuxdoc.org, or will be in the next revision.
|
|
I'm also starting to do some more research on LyX, and maybe start helping
|
|
them out with documentation.
|
|
|
|
As far as other applications, there isn't many, which is a shame. I'd like to do
|
|
my next Linux book completely in SGML, but that may not happen.
