The documentation sources are written in
<em class="firstterm">DocBook</em>, which is a markup language
defined in <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym>. In what
follows, the terms DocBook and <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> are both
used, but technically they are not interchangeable.
</p><p>
<span class="productname">DocBook</span> allows an author to specify the
structure and content of a technical document without worrying
about presentation details. A document style defines how that
content is rendered into one of several final forms. DocBook is
maintained by the <a class="ulink" href="https://www.oasis-open.org" target="_top">
OASIS group</a>. The <a class="ulink" href="https://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/" target="_top">
official DocBook site</a> has good introductory and reference documentation and
a complete O'Reilly book for your online reading pleasure. The
<a class="ulink" href="http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/metadoc/docbook-guide.html" target="_top">
NewbieDoc Docbook Guide</a> is very helpful for beginners.
The <a class="ulink" href="https://www.freebsd.org/docproj/" target="_top">
FreeBSD Documentation Project</a> also uses DocBook and has some good
information, including a number of style guidelines that might be
worth considering.
