Hi all

We're just about to start on a big new round of documentation and
because it might end up in several different formats, I have suggested
going down the XML route. Brave (silly?) of me, because I know very
little about using XML to write technical manuals. But hey -- it will
be good for my career, I keep telling myself.

So now I've got to get up to speed quickly. All I know is that I need
to choose a DTD, a CSS and some form of editor that can work with
them. Can anyone suggest any free/open source tools? And maybe some
good online or printed resources?

Thanks,

Mark
