Any guidance would be much appreciated.
I'm relatively new to DocBook but I've managed to produce some documents (HTML/PDF) with images.
This book was of great help to me:
http://www.sagehill.net/book-description.html. I couldn't say enough good words about it as a reference.
In my environment, it was important to have a single package for installation. I found that the Velocity framework has a DocBook component
http://velocity.apache.org/docbook/ and I started using it. Twiking it to use 0.94 FOP and various docbook-xsl files was trivial.
I prefer the command line for my document generations (that way I can include it with my builds). Velocity fits this nicely with its Ant controlled build.
As for editors, I prefer simple text editors when dealing with markup languages. I experimented with XmlMind but found it (personally) difficult to use. It was a fine product but I found it easier to work lower in the weeds.
