DocBook is a semantic markup language for technical documentation. As a semantic language, DocBook enables its users to create document content in a presentation-neutral form that captures the logical structure of the content; that content can then be published in a variety of formats for web and print without requiring users to make any changes to the source. [Wikipedia: DocBook]
DocBook documents do not describe what their contents look like, but rather the meaning of those contents. For example, rather than explaining how the abstract for an article might be visually formatted, DocBook simply says that a particular section is an abstract. It is up to an external processing tool or application to decide where on a page the abstract should go and what it should look like. (And, indeed, to decide whether or not it should be included in the final output at all.) [Wikipedia: DocBook]
All my work is mastered in DocBook 5.n
