The 'docbook' package contains the SGML DTDs. This package contains
5
the XML versions of the DTDs. This situation may change soon, since
6
it seems that DocBook v5 is officially XML -- I'm not sure whether
7
SGML will be dropped (I don't think so).

A number of customization packages are also available, generally used
10
to mark up specialized subsets or special applications of DocBook XML.

Rather than list them here, please do 'apt-cache search docbook-xml'.

If you wish to format docbook-xml, use either the

'docbook-stylesheets' or 'docbook-xsl-stylesheets' packages, for DSSSL

or XSL stylesheets, respectively. Instructions on operating those

If you wish to format DocBook documents, you'll want to apply a
18
stylesheet to the document, in conjunction with a processor which
19
applies the style. The available stylesheets for DocBook are the
20
'docbook-dsssl' and 'docbook-xsl' packages, for DSSSL and XSL
21
stylesheets, respectively. Instructions on operating those

22
stylesheets and DSSSL or XSL processors is beyond the scope of this
