mvirkkiljsgotangco: Did you take a look at the docbook -> moinmoin xslt:s?09:12
jsgotangcoi sure do have this in my machine but havent tested yet09:13
jsgotangcowill do in a few minutes sorry09:14
mvirkkiljsgotangco: No problem.09:17
mvirkkiljsgotangco: I could upload a newer version. No major changes, just a few tweaks.09:17
mvirkkiljsgotangco: And rudimentary support for images.09:18
mvirkkiljsgotangco: crap. No I can't. It's on my machine at home, which seems to have changed IP addresses, so I can't log in :/09:19

jsgotangcoah wait a bit let me check my repo09:38
mvirkkilbut yourdocbook.xml can't be a book or a part. The root element needs to be one of the following: article chapter colophon appendix glossary09:42

mdkemvirkkil: it doesn't work for books yet?10:20
mvirkkilmdke: No. Not yet.10:57
mvirkkilmdke: It can only handle docbook->moinmoin when the result is going to be one moinmoin page, ie article, chapter etc.10:57
mdkemvirkkil: ok, gotcha. do you plan to work on books too?11:04
mvirkkilmdke: Yes, of course :) 11:04
mdkeawesome11:05
mvirkkilmdke: I'm just taking a similar route I did when I went from moin->docbook: first supoprting only 1to1 conversion, and later doing it for "collections".11:05
mvirkkilmdke: Unfortunately my this week is booked pretty solid, so chunkin a docbook-book in to multiple parts like chapters etc, is going to have to wait till next week.11:06
mvirkkilmdke: But I'd really appreciate if people would test it on their stuff already, and let me know if they find bugs.11:07
mvirkkilI've also been thinking about how to support xrefs and other links. It's quite non-trivial.11:08
mdkeyes11:08
mdkepresumably it involves the anchor macro, right?11:09
mvirkkilmdke: Possibly. But a macro wouldn't work for linkin to headings, since headings aren't parsed. 11:10
mdkehow does the table of contents macro link to headings?11:11
mdkemvirkkil: ok, here is the result of your xslt on the about-ubuntu document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MatthewEast/AboutUbuntu11:15
mdkelooks good.11:15
mvirkkilmdke: Hmm.. bugs.11:15
mdkeI'll make a list of things that aren't working11:15
mvirkkilmdke: The list is not a list, and I've managed to get &rarr; outputted as "&rarr;" instead of a "-->"11:16
mvirkkilmdke: You used xsltproc?11:16
mdkeyes11:17
mdkethe itemizedlist bug seems to be the most significant11:17
mdkeinteresting that the first one didn't work, and the second one did11:17
mvirkkilmdke: Weird, I think that used to work. I did some minor fixes, seems I broke that.11:17
mvirkkilmdke: Would you mind testing with the older 0.4 version?11:18
mdkeah, the first list is inside a <para>, the second one isn't. Is that the trouble?11:18
mvirkkilmdke: Might be :/ 11:19
mvirkkilmdke: I'll need to check it out at home. I'd _love_ to have a smallish testcase :)11:19
mdkemvirkkil: bug is there with 0.4 too11:21
mvirkkilmdke: ok.11:22
mvirkkilmdke: Ahh.. Found the bug.11:23
mvirkkilmdke: I'm assuming that everything inside a <para>-tag _must b11:24
mvirkkilmdke: I'm assuming that everything inside a <para>-tag _must_ be formatted inline.11:24
mdkesplendid11:27
mdkemvirkkil: i've listed the missing features/bugs on that wiki page11:27
mvirkkilmdke: Hmm.. Menuchoice support should work. And so should images.11:27
mvirkkilmdke: It seems your version of moinmoin doesn't support embedding html entities like &rarr; which works with newer versions of moin.11:28
mdkethe broken menu-choice is what you mentioned earlier, in the last bullet point of the page11:28
mvirkkilmdke: Could you put up the xml file, so I can see how the images are used?11:29
mdkemvirkkil: the menuchoice looks like that in my 1.5 desktop moin too11:29
mdkehere's the code: https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/aboutubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml11:30
mvirkkilmdke: How can a <guimenuchoice> have multiple <guimenuitem>:s? I think that should be something like <guisubmenu>11:32
mdkemvirkkil: you are probably right, but it's not invalid11:33
mvirkkilmdke: No. Unfortunately my code assumes a <guimenuitem> is the last in the row :/11:33
mvirkkilmdke: But the itemized list inside a para is the really problematic bug.11:34
mvirkkilmdke: That was an exellent catch :)11:34
=== mdke nods
mvirkkilmdke: I'll have to really rework some of the code to support that :)11:34
mdkesorry about that :)11:35
mvirkkilmdke: The images work.11:36
mvirkkilmdke: It's just that there is no image on the wiki at ../../images/C/ubuntuheader.png11:36
mdkeheh11:37
mdkemvirkkil: shouldn't it prompt for me to upload an attachment?11:37
mvirkkilmdke: No, because the link is a direct link like [../../images/C/ubuntuheader.png] , not an attachment:../../images/C/ubuntuheader.png11:38
mvirkkilmdke: So if the path would be a complete url to any server anywhere, it would work directly.11:38
mdkehmm11:38
mdkei wonder if that is the best way to handle images11:39
mdkeat least those with relative paths11:39
mvirkkilmdke: Well, my plan is to have people upload zips, which get extracted, and the images get attached to the main page.11:39
mvirkkilmdke: mainpage==book's page11:40
mdkewhere the image is one with a relative path, I would have thought attachment:filename.png would work11:41
mvirkkilmdke: You mean, that if it's a relative path, it should write out an attachment:ubuntuheader.png instead?11:42
mdkecan you think of a reason why not to do that?11:42
mvirkkilmdke: It gets a bit tricky if there are something like ../../images/en/flag.png and ../../images/fi/flag.png11:43
mvirkkilbecause then it would just write attachment:flag.png for both, even though they should be different files.11:43

mvirkkilmdke: Fixing "lists inside para" will result in nasty ugly code.04:25
mdkemvirkkil: I'm not very good with code, I'm not sure I can help...04:26
mvirkkilSince a para needs to be a single line, so I want to use normalize-space to strip any newlines and spaces in the beginning and end. This is naturally not possible when there are lists present. 04:26
mvirkkilmdke: no worries. I wasn't expecting you to. 04:27
mdkeI can help test though!04:27
mvirkkilmdke: And that is very much appreciated :)04:28

mvirkkilmdke: I'm asking my mentor for help on this one :)04:29
mdkeare you able to simply treat it as you would if there was a </para> there before the list?04:29

mvirkkilmdke: Or there is, but I'm hoping there would be a cleaner solution.04:30
