List the tools, procedures, and hints to get HOWTO authors up to speed and writing.
This document was started on Aug 26, 1999 by Mark F. Komarinski after two day's worth of frustration getting tools to work. If even one LDP author is helped by this, then I did my job.
The newest version of this can be found on my homepage http://www.cgipc.com/˜markk/in its SGML source. Other versions may be found in different formats at the LDP homepage http://www.linuxdoc.org/.
Comments on this HOWTO may be directed to the author (markk@linuxdoc.org).
v1.8 (May 17, 2000)
Corrected errors in LinuxDoc section that didn't render properly.
Added content about Cygnus tools - thanks to Dan Scott

More DocBook rendering information - thanks to Greg Ferguson

Thanks to everyone that gave comments as I was writing this. This includes Deb Richardson and Daniel Barlow and other members of the ldp-discuss list. Some sections I got from the HOWTO Index (available at many LDP locations) and the sgmltools documentation. There are pointers to sgmltools and the LDP elsewhere in this document. The sections on network access to CVS was partially written by Serek (ser@serek.arch.pwr.wroc.pl). Sections on DocBook were written by Jorge Godoy (godoy@conectiva.com.br). A great deal of thanks to both of them for their help.
