Bravo! Author! Author!
|
|
|
|
Just to make the book a little more clear and the TOC less daunting, I
|
|
would collect sections 2 and 4 to 7 into a subsection called "Using
|
|
DocBook" itself a subsection of Tools. Chapter 8 should also be moved
|
|
into the Tools section. This would make the book more to the purpose
|
|
of its title and less of a "DocBook for LDP Authors", even though that
|
|
is really the bulk of the purpose of the book, which opens up future
|
|
expansion into subjects unrelated to the DocBook tools (such as "How to
|
|
decide on a topic" or "Is this a HOWTO, a Guide or what?")
|
|
|
|
And don't forget our section on writing style (with instructions on how
|
|
to write technical Haiku!)
|
|
|
|
Also, we had a flurry of emails yesterday as we prep'ed Eric Raymond's
|
|
CML2 guide for DocBook; in the process I discovered the beauty of
|
|
using wdiff for collaborative docbook work: When piped into less,
|
|
wdiff shows his changes underlined, mine in bold, and it was trivial
|
|
to cut and paste the updates into the master document. What I'd
|
|
really like to know now is how to get those same effects using wdiff
|
|
within Emacs.
|
|
|
|
GUI editing tools should include TkSGML (best I've found so far next
|
|
to Emacs) and ConchB (has it been updated). You might also mention
|
|
just in passing the commercial softwares such as FrameMaker, Arbortext
|
|
and XMetal and the various DocBook mailing lists.
