This is the official home page for DocBook: The Definitive Guide. The definitive guide, written by Norman Walsh and Leonard Muellner and published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., is the official documentation for DocBook.
In support of DocBook users everywhere, this book and its source SGML are available online at both this site and at OASIS. Of course, you're always free to buy a copy, too, if you'd like :-).

potential of DocBook publishing. It covers all aspects of DocBook publishing tools, including installing, using, and customizing the stylesheets and processing tools.
