[Wigwam-devel] wigwam documentation format suggestions?

[Dave B. <da...@ff...>]

I'd definitely appreciate it if someone could
suggest a docbook variant (docbook-xsl for example)
that is easy to install and makes html / ps / pdf / txt.

The xml-based variants seem much more popular;
i just don't know the details of how to process them.

I gather that no one thinks sgml/dsssl is maintainable and i think
that contributes to the slackly maintained jade/sgmltools situation;
it's quite hard to get sgmltools and its dependencies properly installed.

Although docbook-xml seems to have been around for a while,
i don't myself know of a simple installation procedure.

Any help in figuring out what to do here is appreciated,
i really don't know the current situation.

ps.  i'm recommend forwarding this to wigwam-devel to see if anyone
     has a suggestion.
