Start with the LDP Author Guide:

    http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/

In our "author's resources" area

   http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/index.html#resources

There are pointers to various helpful documents/books
including:

   DocBook: The Definitive Guide, by Norman Walsh and Leonard Muellner
   http://docbook.org/tdg/html/docbook.html

   Using DocBook HOWTO, by Jorge Godoy
   http://www.ibiblio.org/godoy/using-docbook/using-docbook.html

and there also pointers to downloadable template files for
HOWTOs (in DocBook and Linuxdoc SGML).
