docbook2x: collision with sgml-common-utils and common program-transform-name

Hello, guys. There exists file collision between sgml-common-utils and
docbook2x packages and that's why most distributions use
--program-transform-name to make different naming of programs in
docbook2x. Recently I've received bug report that our naming convention
does not follow debian one. I've checked few other distributions and
found that they use:

AltLinux: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/'
Redhat EL, Fedore: --program-transform-name='s/docbook2/db2x_docbook2/'
Debian: --program-transform-name="s/^docbook2/docbook2x-/"
OpenSuse: just moves files to docbook-to-man and docbook-to-texi
Mandriva: does nothing
Gentoo: --program-transform-name='s,\(docbook2.*\),\1.pl,'

So what I'm looking for is some consistent naming that we could agree on
and ask upstream to add some notes into their package. Personally I like
names which starts with the same name as original utility to simplify
search of necessary tool in shell (with tab competition). But what do
you think about this? What upstream can suggest?

P.S. It's not always obvious for me if I picked up correct maintainer,
so in case I did mistake, please, forward this mail to correct
maintainer in your distribution. Thank you.

With best regards,

docbook2X-0.8.8: make check fails

Hello.

I found that make check fails with the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/docbook2X-0.8.8-r1/work/docbook2X-0.8.8/test'
Making check in refentry
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/docbook2X-0.8.8-r1/work/docbook2X-0.8.8/test/refentry'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/docbook2X-0.8.8-r1/work/docbook2X-0.8.8/test'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

Seems that it fails on unicode chars... If I run:

../../perl/db2x_xsltproc -C ../../xslt/catalog.xml -s man -o sgml2xml.mxml sgml2xml.xml

and modify sgml2xml.mxml by replacing '…' and '—', into '.' and '-' 

/usr/bin/perl ../../perl/db2x_manxml --utf8trans-program=../../utf8trans/utf8trans
--utf8trans-map=../../charmaps/roff.charmap sgml2xml.mxml

works. Do you have any ideas why do I see this errors and how to fix

literal layout in funcsynopsisinfo

Hello,

I need to have multiple #include lines in funcsynopsisinfo, as in
socket(2). With docbook2man from Debian's docbook-utils 0.6.14, I get
funcsynopsisinfo translated as

\fB #include
#include

This makes all #includes formatted as one line. socket(2) uses

.B #include
.br
#include

How can I do this with docbook2man?

Thanks in advance,

Is docbook2x under active development?

Hey,

Is docbook2x under active development?

I am currently using docbook2x as a critical component with a GNU package.

GNU are also using docbook2x to format many texi files for a large
amount of packages.

I have submitted a number of bugs at the sourceforge project but
nothing seems to be happening with them - perhaps I have been
submitting them to the wrong place?

Thank you,

Noah

Yes, but it requires a little stylesheet customization.
You can add this small template:

<xsl:template match="book" mode="for-menu-title">
  <xsl:text>PLplot</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

(I haven't yet tested this myself, I'll try to do when I get back home
this weekend.)

In all likelihood, I will also just make it the default, in the next
version of docbook2X, to use the "abbreviated" titles for the
directory entry.

Help with info page generation

Hello -

   I'm starting with a docbook manual with the following (relevant) info 
section:

<book id="plplot-docbook">
   <bookinfo>
     <title>The PLplot Plotting Library</title>
     <titleabbrev role="texinfo-file">plplotdoc</titleabbrev>
     <abstract role="texinfo-node" xreflabel="PLplot">
       <para>The PLplot Plotting Library</para>
     </abstract>
     <subjectset scheme="texinfo-directory">
       <subject><subjectterm>Scientific 
Visualization</subjectterm></subject>
     </subjectset>

I end up with the following in my .texi:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Scientific Visualization
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* The PLplot Plotting Library: (plplotdoc).   The PLplot Plotting Library
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

but I want:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Scientific Visualization
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* PLplot: (plplotdoc).   The PLplot Plotting Library
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

refentry to mediawiki stylesheets

Hi Steve

I've written some stylesheets to transform refentry nodes into mediawiki 
articles which are styled as man pages and can be imported directly into the 
mediawiki system.

It would be great if you find them worth adding them to the docbook2x package. 
Please let me know if you are interested in.

Thanks

Norbert

What does "No description for directory entry"

Hello,

I am running docbook2x-texi on a book and getting the following message:

/book[@id='foo']: No description for directory entry

Could someone help me with this, I have no idea what it means?

Also, how actively developed is docbook2x?

The mailing list only seems to be used by spammers.

Thanks,

Noah
