DTD parsing help for non-Emacs guy

Paul and the other newbies to DocBook,

May I recommend two excellent resources:

1) http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html   <--  More of a reference than a tutorial
2) http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html <--  Combination tutorial and reference book

They describe how to setup the tools [2] and what is valid docbook [1].

I believe xmlto is the recommended tool for Fedora and it isn't directly described in the above.  
But xmlto (IIRC) is just a wrapper around some of these tools.

Docbook and the toolchain is a long hill (but not too steep :-) ) to climb.  But the view from the 
top is worth it.
