Can I point you at the following two URLs, both of which are very useful when getting to grips with DocBook and SGML: Also, take a look at where you'll find links to a couple of documents I've put together with an HTML rendering and the original SGML source. One of them (the 'make world' tutorial) can also be downloaded as a tar.gz file that includes a sample Makefile that *should* help you get started on the actual conversion process. I'm going to try and put together more of a tutorial over the next few weeks. If you get the opportunity to make any notes as you're learning this stuff, please pass them on.
