The DDI site contains a number of marked up codebooks which you can look at 
for guidance.

In order to advise you on how you should proceed, it would help if we 
understood your situation a little better. Are you looking to produce many 
DDI codebooks, or just a single one for a specific project? What do you 
plan to do with the codebook once it's done?
