When I check web sites about SGML/XML there is always
the docbook DTD mentioned as a DTD that is used by
major software companies and now also in the Linux
documentation project.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of it compared
to a DTD that was developped from scratch on?
Costs?
Ease of use?
Support of tools (editor, formatter etc.)?
Support of the DTD?
Need of changes?
Anything else?
