Sometime in August Mark Dalrymple assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Greetings,
| 
| I'm using Docbook (a markup langauge) to write some books and
| technical documentation.  The cool thing about DocBook is that it is a
| true separation of content from presentation.  The same DocBook source
| files can be used to make a PDF, generate HTML, and can be processed
| in other way to extract the structure and use them in different ways
| (for instance, the various features of http://borkware.com/corebook/
| are possible because we extracted the structure of the book and built
| the website around it)
| 
| Now that the DocBook XMLtools are getting more mature and aren't a
| huge pain to get running, would anyone be interested in a presentation
| on it?

I'd actually be interested in a docbook presentation. I'm familiar LaTeX,
but the latex2html and pdf2html stuff I've messed around with wasn't too
impressive.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
