&gt; &gt;&gt;If Docbook SGML is the best way to build Linux documentation

&gt; &gt;&gt;high priority item.
&gt; I think the if there is a consensus, it's to remain with Linuxdoc until
&gt; there is a clear path shown for transition to Docbook.
I thought there was one - conversion:
--Quoting Howard Mann 11/5/99--
1.SGML tools ( V2 ) has a script for conversion of Linuxdoc documents to
DocBook.
Examples of the conversion process are here:
<A HREF="http://www.sgmltools.org/HOWTO/">http://www.sgmltools.org/HOWTO/</A>
--End Quote--
If we already have a conversion tool from LinuxDoc -&gt; DocBook, why
aren't we using it and getting with the rest of the world?
For those that don't want to put the full V2 on, I can understand that.
I'll gladly volunteer spare cycles of my home box to churn on
some of this stuff. It's a RH 5.2 box, so if V2 runs on it, I'll
install it and try a few sample conversions (starting with the HOWTO
HOWTO).
Anyone running V2 on a 5.2 box can please e-mail me with RPMs needed
and any compilation tips (IIRC, V2 doesn't compile on a RH 6.0 box).
Maybe this is the reason nobody's using V2??.

&gt;
&gt; The url is there but not in the author heading where I put my url. Sorry.

You mean under style guidelines or something? I'm not sure I
understand what you're asking for.
