Ardo, pleeeeese. (x)emacs are only good for some people but I am emacs illiterate :( Simple prepackaged script which can be used person like me to conver it into normalized SGML will be nice. If you read what Denis did with his po-debiandoc translation thing, he does partial normalization with custom script. > > Then other tools can take advantage for parsing. > > Well, nsgmls (the tools used to validate and parse the SGML source) doesn't > really care whether the source is normalized.

(I am not coader but an user, you know) That is why some wrapper command wuill be nice. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA See "User's Guide": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ See "Debian reference": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ "Debian reference" Project at: http://qref.sf.net I welcome your constructive criticisms and corrections. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
