Editing DocBook

To contribute to the documentation, you need to write DocBook.

• You can learn about DocBook syntax at http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html .

• SUSE documents are generally built with DAPS (package daps) and the SUSE XSL Stylesheets (package suse-xsl-stylesheets). Ideally, you should get these from the repository Documentation:Tools. However, slightly older versions are also available from the SLE and openSUSE repositories.

• Basic daps usage:

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> validate: Make sure what you have written is well-formed XML and valid DocBook 5

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> pdf: Build a PDF document

  • $ daps -d DC-<YOUR_BOOK> html: Build multi-page HTML document
