[04:51] <nixternal> what is the easiest way to do docbooks style editing and documentation?  using something like bluefish or quanta, or using kate when you get the xml stuff down??  configuration wise is there something perfect, just for docbooks?
[04:51] <Plug> There are a couple of editors
[04:51] <Plug> there's one called xxe?
[04:51] <Plug> I forgot what the one I looked at was
[04:52] <robotgeek> nixternal: apparently quanta is nice, i just use vim though
[04:56] <Madpilot> nixternal, I use Bluefish - it does XML nicely
[04:57] <Madpilot> Screem doesn't seem to, although it claims it does :|
[04:59] <nixternal> i have been playing with bluefish
[04:59] <nixternal> sorry..i went for some ice cream ;)
[05:00] <nixternal> i have been using kate..i would type it up..then fill in the xml tags..but i kept finding myself going back to my xml guide all the time
[05:01] <robotgeek> nixternal: ah, vim doesnt do that without some funky plugins
[05:01] <nixternal> well..i have to manually add the xml tags..i haven't figured out the whole docbooks plugins that kate has

[05:09] <nixternal> if you haven't read, you might be interested
[05:09] <nixternal> some guy doing that as part of his SoC project
[05:22] <robotgeek> nixternal: nice, we can filch maybe :)
[05:23] <nixternal> looks like a really nice project..i can't wait to see what comes of it
[08:44] <mdke> nixternal: yeah, mvirkkil is doing that project. It is really exciting
[10:19] <mdke> Madpilot: I will have a go at some pdfs for lulu for the new translations at some stage, do you fancy having a go at the covers?
[10:19] <Madpilot> sure, I can do them tomorrow night - I'm about to shut down for the night here
[10:20] <mdke> Madpilot: that's great
[10:20] <Madpilot> which languages?
[10:21] <mdke> Madpilot: can't remember right now, whatever is on the wiki page
[10:21] <jsgotangco> bonjour
[10:22] <Madpilot> about a dozen, it looks like - including Thai - cool
[10:22] <Madpilot> is Thai a RTL language or a LTR, anyone know?
[10:23] <jsgotangco> its RTL
[10:23] <jsgotangco> err
[10:23] <jsgotangco> LTR even
[10:23] <jsgotangco> sorry
[10:23] <Madpilot> OK, that's easy
[10:24] <jsgotangco> the only RTL languages you'll encounter in asia are chinese and japanese
[10:24] <jsgotangco> even korean is LTR
[10:24] <jsgotangco> not sure about west asian languages though
[10:25] <Madpilot> no idea
[10:25] <Madpilot> the only RTL languages I usually recall offhand are Arabic & Hebrew - and we don't yet have any translations into those two
[10:26] <jsgotangco> japanese is definitely RTL
[11:05] <jsgotangco> mdke: ping?
[11:10] <LaserJock> jsgotangco: are you going to handle the ESA .pot thing for that guy?
[11:13] <jsgotangco> sure no rush
[11:13] <jsgotangco> ill probably do a new package for edubuntu-docs to just shove everything on it
[11:13] <jsgotangco> besides its supposed to be a different package
[11:22] <mdke> jsgotangco: hello
[11:22] <jsgotangco> mdke: hey just want to ask is a document always associated with a package to be in rosetta right?
[11:24] <mdke> jsgotangco: rosetta works exactly like everything else in launchpad, so you can have a template on a package (if it is uploaded with the package to soyuz) or on a product (such as ubuntu-doc)
[11:24] <jsgotangco> ahhh
[10:38] <mdke> mvirkkil: how about running tidy over the docbook or something similar during rendering?
