I poked around the daisy consortium site and it's pretty unfriendly and totally useless. I don't understand why an organization would not want to allow the general public to access tools for the format they are trying to promote. [After having surfed around more extensively, I chalk it up to a website that doesn't direct normal linux hobbyists such as myself to the right place.] Anyhow, I learned html and my first programming language by copying examples and editing them. Maybe you could figure out the DAISY format by reverse engineering some books in that format (using perhaps the specification as a reference). I found some example DAISY books at http://www.freedomscientific.com/Training/JAWS_training_hq.asp#DAISY. Upon further looking into things, I happened upon http://dsidtb.sourceforge.net/index.php which links to some tools including a validator. That stuff probably can help but it's a bummer I wasn't able to find a tutorial or whatever about writing in this format. The specification seemed to have some examples though that maybe you could work off of.
