Writing "Learning PHP 5" (O'Reilly) [LWN.net]

David Sklar describes the tools he used to write his latest book. "What are the tools and processes that I used to write Learning PHP 5? Each chapter (and appendix) is its own file, formatted with the Docbook Lite XML dialect. I used XEmacs to edit the files. XEmacs's xml-mode provides helpful assistance with well-formedness checking and context-sensitive tag insertion. It also works with XEmacs' font-lock mode to make tags, attributes, and other XML goodies appear in pretty colors for easier readability."
