I'm experimenting with abstract document structures and used some easy HTML-format for description (headings, paragraphs, tables, lists..., written in Perl, based on CSS, XSL-FO and so on). Now I want to make some usability testing, taking existing documents, rewrite them and render back to original format. Up to now I only used it for german documents, next point on roadmap was internationalization and now I need some testing *g*. Why not taking dia's documentation (PDF), rewriting it into abstract form and re-rendering into PDF? At the moment I can also render into HTML, plain text is under construction and man pages would be a nice feature (already planned). So you write the content once (easier than TeX *g*, still readable in vi or more/less *g*) and render to some specific output format. Structured documents, easily create toc-s, lists of keywords, pictures, search within them, realtime-parallel-edit... I would keep the abstract structure local and only put the results, PDFs and HTMLs under CVS-control, later plain text if necessary, man pages (if someone could explain this groff-stuff *g* or give some example, best way is off-list). So I'll start making a first sample document and send it exclusivly to you, Cyrille *g*. Think this will be on friday (2nd of July) _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia
