Package: linuxdoc-tools
Version: 0.9.21-0.5
The current package description reads:
> Description: SGML converters for the LinuxDoc DTD only.
> LinuxDoc is a kind of SGML DTD. It was created for
> the Linux HOWTOs, and had been used officially by
> the Linux Documentation Project (LDP).
> Now LDP has aggressively migrated into the DocBook world, DELETE
LDP has always welcomed new documentation either in LinuxDoc or
DocBook format although there used to be a few that strongly favored
DocBook. Today, that has changed and our new "Howto generator"
allows one to interactively create a HOWTO document with the results
always in LinuxDoc Format.
The way to fix this is to just delete the text I've marked DELETE.
Also CHANGE:
> the Linux HOWTOs, and had been used officially by
> the Linux Documentation Project (LDP).
to
the Linux HOWTOs, and is being used by
the Linux Documentation Project (LDP).

ERROR: linuxdoc-tools doesn't work with text:docbook
Improvements: I think the above description is too long and should be
shortened. Let me know and I'll write you a shorter one. But the
most urgent task is to remove the errors I've pointed out.
