XML documentation is a must for software developers as it's an easy way to document projects and source code in a structured manner. DocBook is a useful markup language that creates XML documentation and can be converted to another format. With DocBook, you can create documentation sets that are platform-independent, plus the documentation sets are both human and machine-readable. It can be challenging to find the right XML editor for your needs, but you can download DocBook for free for both Windows and Mac to get started.

DocBook will work with any XML editor, and there are several free options available, including oXygen XML and XML Copy Editor. However, there are also paid versions of editors with additional features, such as Altova XMLSpy and Stylus Studio. Once you have chosen your editor, you can start creating and editing your XML documentation. You can also use DocBook to create a table of contents, index, and glossary for your documentation. If you need to publish your documentation as a PDF or HTML, you can use a DocBook stylesheet to convert the XML. DocBook is an open standard that is maintained by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). It is a popular choice for documenting software, hardware, and other technical topics.
