too confused to make progress

[Craig White <craig@tobyhouse.com>]

Looking for any help/directions - sort of Docbook for Dummies thing

I'm using Fedora Core 6 and I've got sgml & xml dtd's
3.0/3.1/4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3/4.4 and can't figure out which (if any) to use.

I have been using these commands to generate the html/tex files...

docbook2html -d docbook-utils.dsl#html make_web2.xml
docbook2pdf -d docbook-utils.dsl#print make_web2.xml

My objective is to have a set of xml files that I can generate both html
& pdf documents for our non-profit agency. I have been going over Norm
Walsh's DocBook info and Bob Stayton's Docbook XSL but I think I need
more basic than that.

So far, I have made the best progress with Eric Raymond's
De-Mystification but that is obviously outdated.

I have also looked at 'Writing Documentation using Docbook'

Is there something more basic than this for beginners?
