Hi Dimuthu,

Welcome to the Docbook Project..!

In addition to what Thomas suggested, here are few links which may be useful for you.

This one [1] will be help you to create your hello world transformation which will produce a html document by using docbook style sheets.

And this [2] DocBook wiki page which was created by David will also contain few references for a good start.
The best thing is to get a sample docbook document and transform it to HTML/ PDF. Then you can get the idea behind the DocBook style sheets. The Bob's book [3] will help you. Let us know issues you may faced.

Hi all,
I'm Dimuthu Upeksha a 2nd year Computer Engineering student in University of Moratuwa - Sri Lanka. I would like to participate gsoc 2013 and hope to work with Docbook project. I have no previous experience in docbook code so I did a small survey to learn about docbook.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/
I think it is really cool to work with docbook because I'm quite good at xml, html. _javascript_ and css. But the problem is, I don't know where to begin with. Can anyone please give me some references to follow to learn about docbook code?
