Yes, I know we talked about that... It's just a question of time. There's a small number of you who really know the information... Is there some efficient way that we could share the work, with those of us who are less knowlegeable picking up some of the scribal work? > With other words, the groff_man(7) page and/or the corresponding > section in groff.texinfo isn't as nice as it should be, right? They are actually quite nice... Perhaps we could add some command-line and simple formatting-definition examples as a quick fix? Is that the way to go given everyones time constraints? > Please discuss it here. There have been plans to make groff emit XML > too but... Another one of those projects for when you have copious free time, right? Perhaps when we are all retired and in our dotage, we can perfect groff? ;-) Actually, would there be a purpose for having groff emit XML over having a filter that converts groff source to XML source? In other words, is there a purpose other than converting existing groff documents to XML? The difficulty with a filter, of course, is that XML has to have the beginning and ending defined (say, for a section) whereas groff generally just defines where something begins... If the groff is really well-structured, it's probably doable, but we all know that a lot of existing groff documents are not so well-structured... _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
