DocBook is a DTD - Document Type Definition. now what is this? well say for example having said XML is in itself a rule set , suppose i use an markup element tag <author> in my document and another author uses <writer> element tag in his document, isn't it true we are trying to convey the same meaning .Imagine thousands of pages are being written for the web, for the publishing industry and what a waste of enormous time if people would like to convey similar meaning but use different elements with the core language being same, this is where an DTD comes into picture.
