not too hard to learn. If you follow the Documentation Guide up at the
Fedora pages, that's the best intro available right now for that
toolbox, at least insofar as it concerns FDP. Also you can try out the
RPM available at:
ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/docbook/nxml-mode
This makes the process a little easier and more automated, apparently. I
don't particularly enjoy writing markup like this, and think it would be
great if someone got templates for OO.o or LyX that worked correctly for
the FDP, but I've got the hang of it under Emacs at this point. I've
already written a very short updfstab tutorial. If someone would like me
to edit their document and do the markup, let me know and I'll be happy
to help. Furthermore, if anyone is interested in making OO.o or LyX work
for FDP, we could try that too.
The hardest part of the process, IMHO, is remembering where you need to
use the markups. The way I'm getting used to it is assuming that anytime
I need to make a point, there's probably a markup available. Then it
just becomes a task of (1) finding the most appropriate one, and (2)
trying to remember it for next time.
Thanks for your experience and volunteering to help. We may take you up
on your offer to markup the document ;o)
Since you didn't think that it was too difficult, I'll grab the docs and
try out Emacs/XML.
For those who want to help with anaconda, let's start with Alexander's
TOC, and go from there.
