One of the things I would like from the documentation is that it can be
provide in other formats. I haven been playing with asciidoc and a
utility called pandoc. A converter from many things to many things. HTML
to asciidoc is one of the possibilities.
I converted 3 embedded documentation files tech_overview.wiki,
delta_encoder_algorithm.wiki en delta_format.wiki and created a docbook
"manifest" which looks like:
= Several documents combined
Joe Bloggs
v1.0, 12-Aug-03
:numbered:
:doctype: book
include::tech_overview.txt[]
include::delta_format.txt[]
include::delta_encoder_algorithm.txt[]
and a reasonable document was generated. Reasonable because
1) obvious the conversion wasn't 100 %
2) these documents were not made with an eye for book integration
3) Links were difficult to reproduce. I had to make them absolute
referencing
I have been playing with lyx and docbook but those solutions are using
extern generated docs and allow you to show them in fossil. This could
work from the embedded html documentation.
Although one document had mixed html with wiki syntax and that caused
some grief in the conversion. :-)
A goal for me is to have an updated lyx fossil manual in fossil and be
able to use that to produce a pdf. I'll ponder a bit more about that.
