Appendix G. About this book

This book was written in DocBook XML using Emacs, and converted to HTML using the SAXON XSLT processor from Michael Kay of ICL with a customized version of Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets. From there, it was converted to PDF using HTMLDoc, and to plain text using w3m.

If you're interested in learning more about DocBook for technical writing, you can download the XML source for this book (Windows, UNIX, Mac OS), which also includes the customized XSL stylesheets. You should also read the canonical book, DocBook: The Definitive Guide. If you're going to do any serious writing in DocBook, I would recommend subscribing to the DocBook mailing lists.
