No, not at all a problem. I agree the curve for approaching SGML is
rather steep, and it shouldn't be.
As for learning DocBook, Norm Walsh, who has written excellent DSSSL
stylesheets found in docbook-stylesheets and is on the DocBook
steering council, is writing a book about it.
Good docbook URLs::
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/
http://nwalsh.com/docbook/index.html
http://www.veloce.com/books/docbook/ (bit out of date)
SGML URLs:
http://etext.virginia.edu/TEI.html -- intro materials on SGML
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/
-- everything collected: tutorials, reference, projects, etc
I'd definately like to see a Debian/SGML tutorial written. Right now
I'm a little tired of writing and ready to hack. However, I'm
collecting opinions:
What kinda of documentation work do you intend to do? What would
your ideal tutorial teach you? What would the starting assumptions
be?
