It occurred to me later that the website documentation doesn't cover it. I'm working on reusing Oliver's manpage on the website, but I'd like to find a better way than that used for reusing the conformance information between the xmlroff manual and the website. Anybody interested in writing the XSL to include a DocBook manpage into a DocBook website page? Anybody got a smarter way of doing it, e.g., with XInclude? >> > libpango1.0-dev 1.12.3-1 >> >> Are these the packages that you have to use or the packages that you used? > > These are the packages, that I used to build xmlroff. > >> In principle, if you're not using the Cairo backend, the minimum Pango >> version >> is 1.6.

That would be good. That part doesn't get much exercise, despite it being Pango's promise of easy multi-language processing that prompted basing xmlroff on Pango all those years ago. If you could manage to write your multilingual tests in a form suitable for inclusion in the xmlroff testsuite, that would be even better. Regards, Tony. |
