The link to the O'Reilly book did not work for me.  Here's one that did.

Is there an equivalent to "hello world" for DocBook?  Having to amass 5-6 
tools and use a non-trivial makefile to create a document from a document

disorganized (here, here, and here).  Maybe there's just no way to make it 
simple?
