That way the end user can decide exactly how they wish to the view the document whether it be DOC, ODF, PDF, HTML, Postscript or any of the whackey e-reader botch-ups. Content should be completely divorsed from presentation until the point of delivery.Anyone on the list use docbook? The times I've looked at it I got very confused. I've tried to learn a few of times and given up feeling no wiser.
I use it quite a bit.I've written a commercial windows app that uses docbook as the backend for the creation of courseware titles along with a customisation tool. I use the same tools to write technical courseware which I package onto a self starting Eclipse InfoCenter system on CD.
I've done loads with docbook including colaboration on an OSS package which allows the reader to view raw docbook XML in a web browser using CSS to style the docbook tags.
