I'm perfectly ok with sgml files (even if my source files are XML one). I think it's easier to write XML files. I also thinks it's easier to customize output with XML tools (DSSSL is really hard to understand, xslt is way more simple). But that's only *my* opinion.

I've been completely unable to find any tools more sophisticated than Emacs+SGML that support SGML adequately to work on the PostgreSQL docs, while there are literally dozens of XML editors ... including some GUI editors ... which support DocBook XML. I have yet to see *any* tool for SGML which does more than validate tags. The goal of DocBook XML would be to attract new Doc contributors (like *me*) by allowing them to use tools which to not require them to spend more time tagging their text than writing it. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

I've been working a bit in "Language translation", with Alvaro's help I'm writing a webapps for translate strings. In others words, to use the POT way in a webapps (l10n.postgresql.cl) And then, build the entire HTML manuals from .po -> DocbookXML -> HTML, I'm working as fast as I can. Sadly I haven't got a Postgres full time work :-) -- http://www.advogato.org/person/mgonzalez/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
