DocBook-Publishing

DocBook Publishing describes the framework for publishing with DocBook. It describes how you can easily create a publication or an article in many different formats. You can either read this article online or download (see chapter 12) it in several formats. This framework is based on the work of many people who contributed many parts and made it available to a larger audience as Open Source. Special thanks to Mark Pilgrim who inspired me to write this article because of his publications especially Dive Into Python. I have done nothing else than making it work under Windows and in German with all necessary tools. I use it myself: This article was certainly written with DocBook Publishing. Again: This article is not about DocBook itself (see links to other sites below) but about the description of a setup how to run it in practice. You can also download all necessary tools (also as binaries) from this WebSite; so it should not be a problem to set up your own system enabling you to successfully write documents with DocBook.

This article is not completed yet and will be extended by new chapters or user comments. These changes will soon be visible in a Revision history showing the differences between the different versions.
