A Docbook tip a day keeps MS Word away
Last night I decided to create a new blog category, where I'll try to give one Docbook-related tip every day, so others can get used to this great format too and start writing documentation or articles using it :-)
I will concentrate on writing "article" files, not "books" or some of the other Docbook classes.
First tip: The standard Docbook Article boilerplate
A Docbook document is an SGML or XML file. Writing SGML can be a tedious task, so most users write their documents in XML.
This is the standard boilerplate for a Docbook XML article:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS/DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"> <article id="sometitle" lang="en"> Document goes here </article>

You might want to create new documents in 4.3 or the recently released 4.4, rather than 4.1.2
