Hello Jim,
The project's current documentation is written in docbook, but as part
of this effort, we want to make it easier for new contributors to
write documentation without overwhelming them with the details of docbook.
Yes, it's important for new contributors and my current project
(XSLTForms) has now a documentation in wiki format even though I would
prefer an XML notation such as Docbook.
With that in mind, in your experience, what open-source wiki engines
(if any) provide the best output to docbook? If you can't think of
any, what tools may provide the best means of converting wiki text to
docbook?
I would seriously consider using an XSLT stylesheet. With just adding a
document element, even XSLT 1.0 can parse text in wiki format. It might
sound weird but I have already parsed CSS stylesheets and XPath
expressions with XSLT 1.0 only. Today, XSLT 1.0 is well supported by
almost any environment, at client-side and at server-side.
My current project is an XForms implementation at client-side
(http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms). I have already thought of a wiki
editor being integrated in a form in place of a textarea control and an
extension function could, even, locally perform the XSLT transformation
to DocBook notation before submitting it !
What do you think of this ?
