You can use the id/class html property to create a DOM model that is
1-1 map to a standard docbook document. For a basic editor that would
work. You can always do fine tweaking on the docbook document
afterwards. But it is really hard to learn jusy copy pasting, when it
is not even clear in the GDP documentation how to generate a damn
thing from the .xml file.
