Toby,
|
|
|
|
You might take a look at the 'Authoring Assistance' list we have at:
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/vlist.html">http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/vlist.html</A>
|
|
|
|
Perhaps you could collaborate with someone (or with some group),
|
|
whereby you provide the technical content and *they* do the markup?
|
|
Depending upon the size of the document, it may not take long at
|
|
all to perform such a task.
|
|
|
|
The LDP Author Guide is the best place to start; in terms of
|
|
learning about the LDP process, available tools, SGML intro, etc.
|
|
It also provides links to various sources:
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/">http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/</A>
|
|
|
|
Finally, an excellent online publication on SGML is
|
|
"DocBook: The Definitive Guide", by Norman Walsh and
|
|
Leonard Muellner:
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://docbook.org/tdg/html/docbook.html">http://docbook.org/tdg/html/docbook.html</A>
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions, let me know.
