|

I agree that the HTML should follow the standards but I do not agree
|
|
HTML should be the only format. Many have just one machine and when
|
|
installing Linux they might not be in a position to read the HOWTOs
|
|
or the guides, in which case a nicely printed postcript version would
|
|
be ideal.

|

Linux even runs on Palm Pilots and other low capacity platforms
|
|
where browsers will not fit. Plain ascii then is the solution.

|
|
|
|
Of course you can print out hardcopies with the browser but it
|
|
does look a lot nicer to render it via postscript. Secondly the
|
|
HTML versions are split in chapters, ps and pdf are page oriented.
|
|
|
|
I would hope we could do without the SGML for simple demo purposes
|
|
but there is a question about the access to source for the various
|
|
types of copyrights involved.
|
|
|
|
I agree the LDP should make it easy to create documents so I hope
|
|
we can recruit non-authors who can make the scripts for us.
|
