 DOCUMENTATION
  
  http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/docbook.html
    The O'reilly book about docBook (written by norman walsh)


  http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html
    This is a more recent version of the above. This is probably the best
    initial place to go for information about docbook. The book is
    comprehensive, well written and well proof-read (which is a pleasant
    change from the usual Internet rubbish)

    An FAQ for docbook

  http://docbook.org/wiki/moin.cgi/
    This wiki does contain some worthwhile information but its pretty
    disorganised.

    This is the 'wiki' for docbook. A wiki is a set of webpages which can
    be edited by anybody. This is basically a dubious idea and makes the pages pretty
    difficult to read because they are being edited in all sorts of anarchic ways. This wiki is 
    probably the central documentation site for 'DocBook'
    For more information on 'wikis' and other similar systems please see
