Backuping, installing Debian and restoring may be the best choice. If it's an old Debian, you can upgrade it to the current one but probably not in one step. > from LinuxDoc-SGML to the SGML prefered for Debian. Debian is agnostic :-) You can use any DTD you prefer. Most of the Debian documentation is written in DebianDoc. I, myself, use DocBook. To have an idea of the tools needed, the Debian SGML HOWTO gives a list: docbook docbook-doc sp jade docbook-stylesheets jadetex debiandoc-sgml psgml SGMLtools, version 1 (and may be version 2 as well) The tasks-sgml meta-package, in potato, is also a good list of needed packages. > - Is there any tool to convert LinuxDoc SGML to well formed XML available > in the Debian Potato or via web ? (same for HTML) Which DTD? You can convert LinuxDoc to DocBook/SGML with the SGMLtools, version 2, available in potato. And the 'sx' tool (which is, I believe, in potato, but I don't remember in which package and I have only slink boxes at home) can translate SGML to XML. For HTML, what do you want? HTML/SGML to XHTML (the XML version)? sx can probably do so as well. Remember that most HTML files are not legal, even in the most lax sense, so any SGML tool will probably choke on them. -- http://www.debian.org/~bortz/
