I wasn't aware that DocBook was actually still around... it came out in the early 90s, I think, as an SGML language. A quick Google seems to verify that it's morphed into an XML language. As Ian points out, there isn't any reason you can't use Frame to output to it, because it's can be seen as a delivery format, as a PDF is. But before I embraced it, I think I'd counter with an argument that DITA may be a more flexible and adaptable way to go. If I remember correctly, IBM was one of the early proponents of DocBook, but they jumped ship to DITA, viewing it as a better second or third generation tool. Art
