Hi Thomas,

I don't  know the technical details of DocBook.

I just know the tags to generate the xml source files and use the script 
"jw" on Linux (Debian 6.0) to generate the html files.

Some info about jw script:

The  jw  shell  script  allows to convert a DocBook file (or some other
       SGML-based format) to other formats (including HTML, RTF, PS  
and  PDF)
       with  an easy-to-understand syntax. It hides most of Jade's or 
OpenJade
       complexity and adds comfortable features.

I just installed the docbook-utils package with the command:

apt-get install docbook-utils

Do you suggest any tutorial for a user like me to be able to update the 
DocBook in Debian Squeeze?

Thanks for your attention.
