I'll focus on interactions bugs (such as incompatibilities between the two sgml-tools). > I see The original & upstream author of sgml-tools say that sgml-tools (v1) > has no support now, Right. However, the main reason given on the sgml-tools mailing list, for the deprecation of sgml-tools v1, was the fact that the Linux Documentation Project was moving from LinuxDoc to DocBook. Anyone can easily see that it is wrong: not ONE Linux HOWTO is written in DocBook. I do not judge the authors of the HOWTOs (I use DocBook myself) but this implies that we should, as much a possible, to continue to support sgml-tools v1, if we want Debian to be used by HOWTO authors. > I myself does not know much about SGML, DSSSL, python, or XML. Good luck. (PS: my personal recommandation is to use XML, as soon as possible. For DocBook, this implies DocBk instead of DocBook - Debian package docbook-xml.) -- http://www.debian.org/~bortz/
