DocBook
Ranked #105,056 in Computers & Electronics, #1,629,160 overall
DocBook provides a system for writing structured documents using SGML or XML. It is particularly well-suited to books and papers about computer hardware and software, though it is by no means limited to them. In short, DocBook is an easy-to-understand and widely used DTD. Dozens of organizations use DocBook for millions of pages of documentation, in various print and online formats, worldwide.
This lens is obviously very new, but do check back, I plan on doing a lot of work on it.
