To only learn LinuxDoc, skip to
Learning LinuxDoc. If you want to start writing immediately, then you may try a
"fill in the blanks" template which will generate LinuxDoc formatted
output.
The LDP HOWTO Generator. You may use this to just start
writing your Howto and then finish it later by using a text editor on
your PC.

Do you know things about Linux for which no good free
documentation is available and which would be useful to others? Even
if you don't know the subject well, you can still write about it if
you're eager, willing, and able to learn more about it. Can you write
clearly using a word processor or editor? Do you want to help
thousands of others and let them read what you write at no cost to
them? Once you've written a document, are you willing to receive
email suggestions from readers and selectively use this info for
improving your HOWTO? Would you like to have your writings be
available on hundreds of websites throughout the world? If you can
answer yes to these, then you're encouraged to write something for the
LDP. But be warned that it may take more time than you expected.
Why did I write this when there is already an "LDP Authoring
Guide"? Well, the LDP guide is a long and detailed work. If you want
to get started quickly, you need something much simpler and shorter.
Thanks to Matt Welsh for his example.sgml file which I used as a major
source of info for the example sections.
