We've tried at the SGMLtools project, but there was lack of interest to help
|
|
out making it better. In the meantime, apparently the net.gods at the LDP
|
|
decided to help further yet another toolkit around DocBook (I presume these
|
|
are based on Mark Galassi's scripts). Splitting up prematurely doesn't seem to
|
|
be an optimal way to get good tools, or to get stylesheet modifications
|
|
widespread....
|
|
|
|
[history: when we wanted to convert from Linuxdoc to DocBook with SGMLtools, I
|
|
spent a lot of time looking for existing stuff. Mark's scripts already
|
|
existed, but - at least at that time - they were a bunch of quick hacks to get
|
|
things going. So we designed a clean Python shell from scratch and repeatedly
|
|
invited everyone to join in, tried to persuade the LDP to switch to DocBook,
|
|
but I cannot remember ever getting much response. I'm not fingerpointing,
|
|
people were probably all too busy, but it surely has been a heck of a missed
|
|
change]
