- HugoDaniel 7y agoawesome! lots of packages depend on it
- tkfu 7y agoIt's not used directly in a lot of places. However, it's still used in a lot of publishing toolchains as an intermediate format, usually compiled from asciidoc via asciidoctor[1]. O'Reilly books, for example, are all written in asciidoc and then run through a publishing toolchain that goes through asciidoctor to docbook, to eventually get rendered into printable formats as well as PDFs.

- thechao 7y agoDocbook is an “ok” filter to acquire competent tech-doc-folk who are capable of both content improvements (prose), and asset delivery (books). It’s also a well-known check-box for good programmer-typographers.
- rnhmjoj 7y agoI started using it recently since the manual and all the documentation of Nix, NixOS and nixpkgs are written in Docbook.
- ognarb 7y agoWe still use it a lot within KDE, for all the documentation.
