Moving to docbook markup
Hi folks,
I wanted to bring up the discussion about moving docbook markup and
away from the current latex-based toolchain. There are several reasons
for this; most important is the need for html output. We started with
the toolchain being used by the manual project b/c I knew it worked for
PDF output but was recently made aware that we really need html first
and the PDF is secondary to that. That along with the translations
being easier, made me conclude that the docbook-based toolchain has many
benefits. So I'm proposing that we migrate to docbook and I'll take the
brunt of the work doing the markup and creating a new branch. Kyle has
offered to continue working on some better tools for the make process
and we'll continue to refine the toolchain along the way. So if there
are no strong objections, I'd like to propose that we migrate the
project to a docbook-based toolchain.
Everyone has done a great job of pitching in and I hope we can count on
your help as we keep moving forward.
thanks,
Belinda
