GLeblanc@cu-portland.edu said:
&gt; It's probably true that creating a DSSSL stylesheet for Linuxdoc
&gt; wouldn't be all that complex, but I'm still a little troubled by the
&gt; lack of a good text backend. I haven't seen any mass-migration of the
&gt; LDP authors to DocBook yet, so I haven't really pushed to get
&gt; something better than Lynx.
Does the term &quot;chicken-and-egg problem&quot; ring a bell?
There's a better backend-processing candidate for the text stuff (html2text,
IIRC), and it's even on the SourceForge SGMLtools-Lite project page as a bug
report that this must be implemented. I think that grabbing this bug would be
a more useful passtime than writing new stuff for Linuxdoc.
