Everything seems to work fine now. But I thought that a brief explanation
of the changes would be useful because as you said, all the decisions you
listed in your mail affect the entire process.
In short, after all the processing, the people who want to read live-manual
either have to choose $${FORMAT}/$${LANGUAGE} if selecting the "filetype"
output or $${LANGUAGE}/$${FORMAT} if selecting the "language" output. Well,
the committed changes build live-manual by "language" but after talking to
you and seeing all the improvements that you have made, I have realised
that it could even be easier and more convenient to build by "filetype".
This could also ease the process of building the .debs as they are
named live-manual-$${FORMAT} (I'm not sure about this last statement, it is
just a wild guess)
So I have everything ready to commit the changes "by filetype" on top of
the "by language" or reverting the latter to send the former. I think that
it would be great if someone could help deciding on this as both methods
work and keeping in mind that these commits need having sisu3 in the
autobuild when it is ready.
And again, Ralph, I couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks. And
also thanks to Ben Armstrong for guidance.
Have a nice weekend.
