LinuxDoc
open-in-new
<p>LinuxDoc is an <a href="/facts/Standard_Generalized_Markup_Language/euIKXwHV">SGML</a> <a href="/facts/Document_type_definition/JsvY9PyQ">DTD</a> which is similar to <a href="/facts/DocBook/8RpRVfCQ">DocBook</a>. <a href="/facts/Matt_Welsh_(computer_scientist)/qqHhm7mt">Matt Welsh</a> created it, and version 1.1 was announced in 1994. It is primarily used by the <a href="/facts/Linux_Documentation_Project/3keNHNvs">Linux Documentation Project</a>. The DocBook <a href="/facts/SGML/euIKXwHV">SGML</a> tags are often longer than the equivalent LinuxDoc tags. </p><p>LinuxDoc has a more succinct DTD than DocBook. Users of small to medium-size projects have found that it suits their purposes better than DocBook. </p><p>The <a href="/facts/Debian/cBd93qfJ">Debian</a> distribution of <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> has a Linuxdoc-tools package. </p>
