Myself and Chris Coleman have started work on a "Newbie FreeBSD" book project, intened for first time Unix/FreeBSD users/sysadmins. We want to write the thing in SGML, and so far have been using sgmls and sgmlfmt to format the sgml files into html. We've been using the linuxdoc DTD... Before we go too much furthur, I thought I'd ask if there are alternative? I can remember some talk about "docbook" or something. I couldn't find any info on it however. Any pointers to SGML related stuff usable under FreeBSD would be greatly appreciated. -Mark Oh, you can check out what's ready so far by browsing: http://vinyl.quickweb.com/~chrisc/docs/docs.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com RingZero Comp. http://vinyl.quickweb.com/mark finger mark@quickweb.com for my PGP key and GCS code ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- University degrees are a bit like adultery: you may not want to get involved with that sort of thing, but you don't want to be thought incapable. -Sir Peter Imbert
