Bug 1428 – A Lyx to Gentoo Guide XML bridge

• Product: [OLD] Docs-user
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Matthew Kennedy 2002-03-31 04:08:21 UTC]

Howdy,

Attached is the code to convert DocBook 3.1 XML (Lyx can export to DocBook 3.1
and sgml2xml can convert that to DocBook XML) to Gentoo Guide XML. It is simply
an XSL transform. The result is that it allows developers and other guide
authors to use Lyx to author Gentoo XML Guides.

I don't have time to maintain/handle this, but it's going to be a great asset. 
Assigning to danarmak for maintainance (commit to gentoo-src?)

I already committed it. See gentoo-core announcement. The instructions here aren't accurate anymore; xalan isn't required, xsltproc will do. I'll maintain it.

Trying to clean out the docs-depricated so that I can close the catergory ...
