| Admiral_Chicago | hey there fijam | 10:50 |
| Admiral_Chicago | have you been able to understand anything of the documentation / writing it? | 10:51 |
| fijam | I do not quite get the rules of making the output html files out of docbook | 10:52 |
| fijam | And is it e.g supposed to work in yelp, or should it just work in a browser | 10:52 |
| fijam | I should have posted my questions to the mailing list I guess, but had no time/mind to do this. Next week I should finally have plenty of time. | 10:54 |
| Admiral_Chicago | fijam: both | 10:55 |
| Admiral_Chicago | it works with anything that can handle HTML | 10:55 |
| fijam | 'cause as it is now, the links to chapters in yelp won't work | 10:56 |
| fijam | neither for ubuntu, nor for xubuntu | 10:56 |
| fijam | I am working on a clean svn pull, and I doubt if I was already able to screw something up. | 10:57 |
| fijam | and since the links currently point to .html files, instead of .xml files, I bagan to thing that only html output matters. Apparently, I was wrong. | 11:00 |
| fijam | Admiral_Chicago, how is it supposed to work then? | 11:02 |
| Admiral_Chicago | fijam: give me a second | 11:07 |
| fijam | sure. | 11:07 |
| Admiral_Chicago | fijam: right now, we had the docs working by pulling them in Firefox | 11:08 |
| Admiral_Chicago | this is probably broken as we recently moved the Ubuntu docs to the Xubuntu folder | 11:08 |
| Admiral_Chicago | i don't know if it is broken though | 11:08 |
| fijam | Since documentation in 'ubuntu' behaves in the same way, I presume that is how it works. As far as I managed to figure it out, the process of making a patch boils down to editing the xml file, validating it, building it to a .html file, checking if it's right and finally using diff to make a patch. I'd be happy though if someone could say how wrong I am. | 11:11 |
| fijam | To cut the long story short, my biggest concern is whether documentation should be usable in a docbook viewer or is just docbook format a tool of storing and managing the documentation under development. | 11:14 |
| fijam | And if it's not, how the links should be fixed. | 11:15 |
| fijam | does it make sense? | 11:15 |
| Admiral_Chicago | fijam: all you need to do is svn diff > mypatchforsection.diff | 11:18 |
| Admiral_Chicago | if it is a simple change | 11:18 |
| Admiral_Chicago | of course validating is also important if you are committing. if not, it isn't (but it is a good practice to follow) | 11:19 |
| fijam | certainly. | 11:20 |
| Admiral_Chicago | the docbook format is really a syntax for writing. It should be used to write it but because we are using docbook / XML, we can easily export it to a HTML file | 11:20 |
| Admiral_Chicago | fijam: to answer your question docbook/xml is both | 11:21 |
| fijam | so we need to fix the links. | 11:21 |
| Admiral_Chicago | ah i see your question | 11:27 |
| Admiral_Chicago | i'll have to think about that, i think you're question is a non issue though | 11:28 |
| fijam | what do you mean? | 11:28 |
| Admiral_Chicago | afaik, this is all done when the docs are compiled (maybe by the MAKE file) which may not be how you are doing it | 11:29 |
| fijam | Admiral_Chicago, output html files are fine. I just wonder what about raw docbook files. | 11:32 |

| Admiral_Chicago | hmm dunno fijam | 11:39 |
| fijam | I'll ask on the ML. | 11:40 |
| Admiral_Chicago | okay | 11:44 |
| Admiral_Chicago | good idea | 11:44 |
| === Knightlust [n=Dax@ubuntu/member/knightlust] has joined #ubuntu-doc | ||
| ian_brasil | how did you output html from the docbook?? | 12:33 |
| ian_brasil | the make files for me failed due to the move to the topic based help system | 12:34 |
| ian_brasil | (I have copied the serverguide and changed it to mobileguide , edited the xml and validated using the script and yelp...i then built the pdf with xml2pdf but i am not sure about how to do html output | 12:36 |
| ian_brasil | any ideas?? | 12:36 |
| ian_brasil | i built the pdf with dblatex not xml2pdf | 01:10 |
