The Docbook DTD for XML provides a rich set of markup for
authors of technical documents. However, developing a publication
through repeated cycles of (1) editing source code, (2) transforming
sources to target format (like HTML or PDF) and
(3) reviewing recent changes can become a bit cumbersome, especially
when compared with WYSIWYG-style publication tools.
This project provides a set of CSS files for direct inclusion
in a DocBook document. They simplify the development cycle by
providing previews without the transformation step:
Just edit the source and load it into any XML- and CSS-enabled
Browser for preview. After changing your text, just refresh
the browser display and see the effect.

The file you can load below is a Docbook XML file that uses
the project CSS for display/preview purposes. No XSL stylesheets
are involved, just the CSS.
