Good question. So far, the "guides can be anything you want...but don't
|
|
expect us to
|
|
convert/translate/edit/fix/fiddle/modify/adopt/respect-in-the-morning/like
|
|
it" policy seems to be working ok. The books are carefully separated
|
|
out and people know they've only got those formats to choose from. And
|
|
really, having HTML is all one needs most of the time.
|
|
|
|
Maybe a conversion effort? Wouldn't it be possible to convince these
|
|
authors to LOOK at what the conversion looks like after it's finished
|
|
and then make all future changes using the same format? I mean, really,
|
|
if you see a good solid example of SGML in action and you are working in
|
|
an already feature complete template, if you have any sense at all you
|
|
can figure out what needs to be done.
|
|
|
|
If at that point the old author doesn't want to continue in SGML then
|
|
maybe, as was suggested in an earlier response, they could be teamed
|
|
with an editor buddy who will do the SGML-izing. The author could
|
|
produce pure text and a html/pdf/ps of what it 'ought' to look like and
|
|
send it to the editor. Then the editor could make it right.
|
|
|
|
Just some thoughts.
