DocBook</h2></div></div></div><p> The documentation sources are written in
<em class="firstterm">DocBook</em>, which is a markup language
superficially similar to <acronym class="acronym">HTML</acronym>. Both of these
languages are applications of the <em class="firstterm">Standard Generalized
Markup Language</em>, <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym>, which is
essentially a language for describing other languages. In what
follows, the terms DocBook and <acronym class="acronym">SGML</acronym> are both
used, but technically they are not interchangeable.
</p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> The PostgreSQL documentation is currently being transitioned from DocBook
SGML and DSSSL style sheets to DocBook XML and XSLT style sheets. Be
careful to look at the instructions relating to the PostgreSQL version you
are dealing with, as the procedures and required tools will change.
</p></div><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="http://www.oasis-open.org" target="_top"> OASIS group</a>. The <a class="ulink" href="http://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.
