# Publishing DocBook Documents

Creating and editing &SGML;/&XML; documents is usually only half the battle. After you've composed your document, you'll want to publish it. Publishing, for our purposes, means either print or web publishing. For &SGML; and &XML; documents, this is usually accomplished with some kind of stylesheet. In the (not too distant) future, you may be able to publish an &XML; document on the Web by simply putting it online with a stylesheet, but for now you'll probably have to translate your document into &HTML;.
