* | That puzzles me too. Even Norm Walsh's so-called "Docbook" book
* | reads as if it were a briefly written summary written in a foreign
* | language to be as terse as possible.
*
* <sigh/> I'm sorry you found it to be that way. That wasn't the intent.
* Although the bulk of the book is intended as a reference and not a
* how-to, the introductory chapters were supposed to be readable by the
* novice. Can you explain, in any more detail, what you found most
* troubling?
I didn't find anything really wrong with the book... A few additions would have
helped...
A reference card of the hierarchy of markups---this was what I used the book
for the most initially.
More stylessheet specfic text, perhaps including some more examples of
different stylesheets for print/HTML and how they can change the outlook of the
whole doc. While you're trying to document docbook, people are most likely to
be using Jade/your stylesheets to produce the output. I've hacked mine and
still can get what I'm (visually) looking for. I guess the limitation is in the
generalities of DocBook, since I could get it if I was using raw LaTeX.
More details on linking documents, I've got 6 docs that I'm writing in
parallel and would really like to link between them. I gave up.
