(x-post to xml and xslt list) Hello,
I asked Daniel Veillard for an update of the libxml(2).3 and libxslt.3 manpages distributed with the source. The current manpages are (maybe) a bit outdated and they contain one issue: - they should not reference the full path in the files section Further libxml.3 should IMHO be renamed to libxml2.3. Your opinion? I would offer to rewrite these manpages in XML and fix the mentioned bugs. As far as I understand Daniel's answer: > [..] > > PS: Would you be interested in updated libxml(3) and libxslt(3) manpages > > too? I could rewrite them in XML and fix a few bugs.

One possible implementation: The manpages get a basic structure (refentry/refentryinfo + stuff currently mentioned in the existing manpages) and inbound another XML document, which is created via XSLT from the mentioned api-files. The resulting (refentry) XML file can then be processed via xsltproc and the manpage is created. Your opinion?
