Help would be appreciated! I'm also not sure >which would be better, DocBook SGML or XML. Well that depends on your taste however with Docbook SGML you can produce XML output and use the XSL stylesheets. Printing formats are so so with XML and looks like PassiveTex is producing a better output then Apache Fop. SGML will need DSSSL and then jadetex will produce the output. Taking the view as XML is the future and maintaned heavily compared to DSSSL I would say go forward with XML. AFAIK with Debian setting Docbook tools is easy (same with SuSE, do not know other distos'). If you need help just hit the mail key I'll do what I can. Currrently I am maintaining the Unofficial SuSE FAQ which is done with Docbook SGML with a modular approach. If it can help you in setting the design have a look at http://dinamizm.ath.cx/howthisisdone.html This weekend I'll have another look to the conversion tools and see if I can come out with a valid Docbook SGML/XML from linuxdoc and let you know.
