Frank Ingermann surprised me [Paul Vinkenoog] with a Generator Guide last week – in DocBook XML! He’d written it some time ago and recently converted it to DocBook as an exercise, because he had to learn DocBook for his work.

It needs a little updating, but I can probably commit it – and build HTML and PDF versions – within a week.

Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog
