I think I was not clear enough.  I think that we should add a section
describes how to install the DocBook DTD and how to compile (is this
the right word?) the .sgml files to HTML or DVI or PS or something
readable.

Right now, I cannot get the DocBook tools to work. And since I'm a
developer-wannabe, reading the developer docs and such included in
the CVS gnome-lib/doc is of interest to me.

I assume that the URL above is for WRITING DocBooks.  I haven't
gotten that far yet. :)

Thanks for the help you have given, tho. :)

Ciao!
