When authors submit a manuscript for publishing it contains content, but it is up to the typesetter how it will appear on the page when printed. The layout and columns in a printed magazine or newspaper are examples of this. HTML and XML are actually subsets of SGML, with SGML being a meta markup language. The primary advantage of authoring documentation using SGML is that it is relatively easy to parse and convert into many different formats from one source document. This way you maintain one document, and then regenerate the copies, e.g. HTML, XHTML, XML, etc, on an as needed basis.

The process is described within this page I just put up: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/freebsd_uptodate.html Hi Masoom, We have been working on a patch for the Handbook that adds a short description of the same process. The patch has been recently posted to freebsd-doc, by Gabor Pali: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2008-December/015315.html Since you already have written something similar, do you think we can convince you to review the patch? It would be nice if you could help us improve it or make it easier to read, and use. Regards, Giorgos pgpSoMDRDFWeo.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Bruce, No, there are no release-specific branches to the doc/ tree. The 'HEAD' of the CVS repository is all there is. If you look at the CVS tag names, there _are_ a few old branches and experimental tags, but these are mostly left-overs from projects that are no longer active. The tag=. run that you used should give you the latest documentation sources :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi Bruce, As Giorgios points out, the docs aren't branched. I'll try make it clearer on that page that it's only for SUPFILE(source) that there is a branch you have to follow. PORTSSUPFILE(ports) DOCSUPFILE(docs) are just given the current tag, which they should have by default.

Sorry I missed where you say to use the doc-supfile; I thought both src and doc were being fetched using a single cvsupfile like in Masoom's original email. On reading the page again it's actually quite clear that you should use the standard doc-supfile which will contain the correct tag line. -- Bruce Cran ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Masoom Shaikh Minimal install does not include the handbook. Thats why its called a minimal install. Normal install you get handbook.
