I'm glad I have been able to share it via the Fedora Project. There are so many sources of info about DocBook, that it can be overwhelming for a beginner. The focus of this guide is to teach you how to use DocBook quickly without having to learn the details of how it works. After you become familiar with it, you can read the more in-depth DocBook docs if you are interested. Most people just need to know enough to be able to do the actual task at hand -- the writing part.
