EDU-HowTo Standard (was Re: XML vs DocBooks)

[Bill Tihen -- TECHNOLOGY <bill@mail.tasis.ch>]

I had been thinking of these comments and had decided to
start writing a standard template that could be the
starting point for EDU-HowTo's and Tutorials.  In
addition to a template I thought we could have an
appendix listing the standard tag or notation used for
certain things like:  example code, commands the user
types, what the screen displays, etc.  I was going to
base it on something like the O'Reilly standards.  I
think there are DocBook tags that fit our needs -- so it
will really just be a matter of listing them so that we
use them appropriately.  

Correct me if I am wrong -- I am very new to sgml &
DocBook -- my experience lies soely in examples I have
seen.  I will try to have something for everyone to
review in short order.  (A week or two).
