You are probably familiar with the docset concept as its final product, if you saw the mod_perl guide and or the template toolkit documentation. The two try to make a system for converting a potentially huge set of documents in different source formats (POD, XML, HTML...) into nicely linked HTML set (with navigation menus and stuff), PS/PDF book, and other formats. Andy's system uses templates driven logic, mine is code driven. Otherwise the two use template toolkit templates for rendering the final output.
What we are interested in is working on defining the spec for the docset building system, integration and generalization/abstraction of our systems (and yours if you join the discussion) with the final goal of having a code set for documentation publishing using various source formats and rendering various output formats.

I've reposted parts of our private thread so you know what we are talking about.

Stas Bekman and I were discussing ideas for creating documentation sets using Template Toolkit, XML, POD, and various other interesting technologies. We created this list as a public forum for further discussion. _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
