Many months ago I submitted a bug report to the Debian Distribution
|
|
regarding sgml-tools. I complained about too many blank lines. Finally,
|
|
someone (Taketoshi Sano) is responding to this. When I told him we
|
|
were still requiring sgml-tools (linuxdoc) for Howtos he checked LDP's
|
|
website. Unfortunately, our site at first gives the erroneous
|
|
impression that we are accepting DocBook for Howtos but then later
|
|
corrects that. I complained about this before and I now have an
|
|
example of the confusion it may cause. But the main purpose of this
|
|
post is not to complain about our website (although improvement is
|
|
needed).
|
|
|
|
Taketoshi Sano has volunteered to fix real bugs in the Debian Package
|
|
for sgml-tools. This is good news since then one can automatically
|
|
covert it to a Redhat rpm package, making it easy for authors to use
|
|
it:

He's already fixed the "too many blank lines" problem in v1.0.9 by
|
|
introducing an option to select the maximum number of contiguous blank
|
|
lines. But what is version 1.1.15? Where does it come from and what
|
|
is it based on. There are also patches to fix 1.1.15. (This result
|
|
is 1.1.16?) Is it better than v1.0.9 (or v1.0.11)?
|
|
|
|
Note that the "too many blank lines" problem was also fixed by someone
|
|
in Brazil who came out with what he called v1.0.11 but later removed
|
|
it from his site and said it was a "bug".
|
|
|
|
Are there more real bugs in sgml-tools? I found that I couldn't use
|
|
certain symbols in section names. It didn't like "quotes" there.
|
|
This may not be a bug as the manual says that sometimes you need to
|
|
use &dquot instead of ".
