LaTeX's markup makes so much sense that a WYSIWYG tool isn't necessary, for even the man on the street can be just a productive with doing it up in a text editor. If you are working hands-on with large amounts of XML in a production setting, I strongly recommend that you check it out. It's neither libre nor gratis, but it's well worth the money, and much cheaper than the (other) commercial alternatives. (It also provides for editing and debugging XSLT stylesheets, although I don't personally use it for that at present.) It's available on *nix, Windows, and Mac (yes, it's a Java GUI app, but it's remarkably fast and stable one). It also validates, pretty-prints, and does a good job performing diffs and merges between different versions of large (100+ K) documents. It's thoroughly DocBook-aware and does nice transformations of shorter DocBook documents into HTML and PDF. I use oXygenXML as my principal XML editor. It's also relatively easy for us to produce documentation that's either standalone or integrated with larger documents, such as the Connectors manuals. We also maintain the Internals Manual using this system.
#SMARTSVN ROLLBACK TO REVISION LOCALLY MANUALS#
These include the online manuals at which get updated 4 times a day from our SVN repositories. We produce end-user docs in HTML, PDF, TexInfo, plaintext, CHM, and a couple of other formats. We maintain 3 distinct versions of a >1600-page software manual this way, in numerous translations. We use DocBook XML for the source format of the MySQL Manuals, and SVN for version control.
