|
|
|
|
comme ci, comme ca, there's been an interminable
|
|
discussion of pros and cons. Meanwhile, new
|
|
authors come along, ask to same questions, get the
|
|
same indeterminate answers. What I've heard is
|
|
|
|
1) the LDP is moving vaguely in the direction of
|
|
DocBook 3.1.
|
|
2) it would be nice if some volunteers did markup
|
|
for new authors, but there's no roster of
|
|
volunteers.
|
|
3) LinuxDoc is sorta on its way out, but it's
|
|
still the only DTD sorta featured in the H-H.
|
|
DocBook is mentioned, but not featured.
|
|
4) it's not clear which tags are to be used,
|
|
there's a lot of talk about using SGML in search
|
|
engines, but beyond DSSSL, the LDP doesn't appear
|
|
to be using the capabilities of SGML.
|
|
5) because of rugged individualists using straight
|
|
text editors to write SGML manually, there's a
|
|
move afoot to use a non-standard version of
|
|
DocBook without many end tags and reduced nesting.
|
|
The effect of this on the virtual search
|
|
capability is unknown. The main reason for this
|
|
move is to avoid typing.
|
|
6) there may or may not be a template, it may or
|
|
may not be referenced in the H-H, and it may be in
|
|
DocBook, LinuxDoc, or both.
|
|
7) LDP may have a policy, but no one seems to know
|
|
what it is beyond using SGML with some
|
|
indeterminate DTD. Despite blizzards of blather
|
|
about the wonderfulness of SGML, about the only
|
|
thing going is conversion into a few other
|
|
formats.
|
|
8) It's not clear which validation and conversion
|
|
tools work with what.
|
|
|
|
Beyond that, everything is clear-cut. Welcome to
|
|
LDP.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps.
|
|
