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

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

Hi,

I probably wasn't clear.  What I mean was that I was 
going to show people the predefined tags that we are 
likely to use, i.e.  <userinput>, etc.  

However, I was currious about context tags -- for 
indexing & searching the documents.  I was reading that 
it possible to do excellent searches and indexing if we 
create our DocBook documents correctly.  I don't have 
any idea what types of tags are available and I don't 
even have a clear idea what we would want to be able to 
index or search for after we have finished a HowTo or a 
Tutorial.  Are there any experienced editor/techincal 
writers who could help advise us on this?  This is an 
important area for use to standardize so that our 
documents are meaningful to search after we have written 
them.

everything I can find.
