Request Info on DocBook

[Art Campbell]

Gary,
Hasn't 5.1 been released to fix the problems that 5.0 had? I was
hearing about it, but don't use it (yet) so I haven't tracked it down.

Went through some of the details over the net and it seems a good tool to switch to but involves a very deep learning curve. Is there any plug-in available to make things easier? I need to know this as some of the writers are not keen to learn XML and would rather click buttons that would take care of what they want to generate. The company will definitely not invest in training nor am I aware of any institute/entity in India that imparts training in DocBook.
