mdkemvirkkil: elaborate how?08:37
mdkemvirkkil: I just mean that the output xml is rather ugly and hard to work with, if you use tidy to clean it up, it would avoid the user having to do it.08:45
mdkejenda: pong, pong08:49
jendamdke: ah great :) now to remember what I wanted :)08:50
jendaThere's a forums section on ubuntu.com - and I'd like to see the Czech forum there.08:50
mdkesure08:50
mdkecan you email me?08:51
jendayuppers08:51
mdkethanks08:51
jendamdke: sent.08:57
jendaThanks08:57
mdkenixternal: there is an email address on the LoCoTeamHowto page08:58
mdkenixternal: in fact, all information you ever need is, or should be, there08:58
nixternalthx mdke08:58
mdkemailman@lists.ubuntu.com08:59
nixternali think i hit that one also08:59
nixternalya..i hit that one also...08:59
nixternalthx08:59
mvirkkilmdke: I mean how is it ugly? What would the tidy program do? Usually when I hear people saying that the xml is ugly they mean it's cluttered with namespace declarations, possibly invalid etc. This is not the case here.09:12
mpt__The element names are longer than in HTML :-)09:23
mptDoes that count as ugliness?09:23
robcan the element names be shorten and still mean the same thing?09:23
mvirkkilrob: nope09:24
robicky09:24
robhow long are we talking?09:25
mvirkkilrob: <para> instead of <p> ? 09:25
=== ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mvirkkilBut you could always create a shorter version and convert it.09:26
robthats the actual docbook markup, no it can't be shorten without a lot of work (afaik)09:26
robyep09:26
robbut why not then create your own schema?09:26
mvirkkilBut I'm pretty sure  mdke didn't mean this.09:26
robGentoo uses a really simple markup09:27
robfor its docs09:27
mvirkkilrob: Well, the idea is to use the moinwiki in the future, and then convert that to docbook. That's what I'm working on.09:28
robare you the one working on the SoC project?09:28
mvirkkilrob: Yup.09:28
robah cool, I was actually going to submit something similar myself, but lack of spare time killed me09:29
mvirkkilrob: Close to killing me too. Sent it it on the 11th hour.09:30
robGuideXML, thats what Gentoo uses, its much simpler and has less tags then docbook09:30
robhttp://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml09:30
robI think its pretty cool, but its not docbook, so yeah :)09:31
mvirkkilrob: Quickly browsed through it.09:31
mvirkkilrob: I see very little sence in using it.09:32
mptand then there's MAML09:32
robmvirkkil, it is much simpler, thus much easier to learn09:33
mvirkkilrob: I wouldn't say much, it looks a bit simpler. But not much.09:33
robthats the only major benefit09:33
mptMAML is crack because it includes built-in support for FAQs, which, almost by definition, you won't know exist until after the help has shipped09:34
robmpt, so does docbook (we used it in the first version of the Desktop Guide)09:34
mptWell, we already know docbook is crack :-)09:35
mptIt's just the least evil09:35
robheh09:35
