What I mean is something like LinuxDoc where one doesn't need tags to
|
|
mark the start and end of paragraphs nor to designate a <Title> after
|
|
say <Sect1>. You just use double spacing to separate paragraphs and
|
|
anything after say <sect1> is a section title by default (as in
|
|
LinuxDoc). LinuxDoc avoids the complex nested structures of DocBook.
|
|
Perhaps one can't really make DocBook nearly as simple as LinuxDoc.
|
|
If so, then I think that LinuxDoc needs to be retained for a long time
|
|
until something better comes along.

> What do you think is better about example.sgml than template.sgml?
|
|
|
|
For one, template.sgml is 5 times as long as example.sgml. BTW I
|
|
think that example.sgml could be improved upon and I once started to
|
|
try doing it but didn't finish. example.sgml tells you to print out
|
|
the sgml source since some people will be reading a formatted
|
|
rendition. It also tells one that macros (should be tags?) are
|
|
enclosed in angle brackets. The "license" currently in template.sgml
|
|
is not really a license. template.sgml fails to explain enough about
|
|
the various tags but talks mostly about what the author thinks the
|
|
content of a HOWTO should include. This distracts from the main
|
|
purpose of learning LinuxDoc.
|
|
|
|
I think that much of the content of template.sgml is good but belongs
|
|
in another document (namely the HOWTO-HOWTO). Thus I think what we
|
|
need is a major revision on example.sgml. So if I find time I'll
|
|
continue my work on revising example.sgml (Only about 10% of the task
|
|
is completed so far).
