Start with the LDP Author Guide:
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/">http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/</A>
|
|
|
|
In our "author's resources" area
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/index.html#resources">http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/index.html#resources</A>
|
|
|
|
there are pointers to various helpful documents/books
|
|
including:
|
|
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
Using DocBook HOWTO, by Jorge Godoy
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.ibiblio.org/godoy/using-docbook/using-docbook.html">http://www.ibiblio.org/godoy/using-docbook/using-docbook.html</A>
|
|
|
|
and there also pointers to downloadable template files for
|
|
HOWTOs (in DocBook and Linuxdoc SGML).
|
|
|
|
(I'll add your info to the "docs in progress" page).
|
|
|
|
Let me know if you have any questions.
