RE: DocBooks question

["technical writing plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

I have been curious about DocBook myself. Now you answered a basic question
of mine. Thanks. 

I have OpenOffice, which is a free and open source office suite (word
processor, database, presentation program, drawing program, spreadsheet) and
I think that it is kind of impressive. One feature of the suite is that it
will allow you to save in a DocBook format. I don't know how to do this or
what it means. I assume that it lets you set up a DocBook system? Or create
DocBook docs?  Jim Jones

When you say you're looking over options, it isn't clear what you
mean.  Options for tools?  For Help formats?

>DocBooks open source program

DocBook isn't a software program.  It is an XML standard.  You would
still need to buy an authoring tool (XML editor) to create your Help
content.
