Package: tex-common Version: 2.10 Severity: normal User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: docbook-xml-transition
Dear Maintainers, The repetitive URLs in the Debian TeX Policy are, well, receptive. I wanted to do something about them, and the obvious thing was to factor most of them into bibliography entries (one per document), so a single citation mark like, say, [TDS] could replace a URL or three in running text. (This would also make the source easier to follow.) Unfortunately, debiandoc doesn't seem to support such amenities, so it looks like the easiest thing is probably to switch to DocBook. There are instructions on <http://wiki.debian.org/DocbookXmlTransition>, though the .po-related steps seem inapplicable. Unfortunately, the output is not indented, and currently does not declare its encoding, which confuses Emacs (well, nXML) for some reason <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=663279>. (Also, it inserts comments to the effect that it expects the documents to use version.ent, and I must admit that I myself find the fact that neither seems to actually do so rather puzzling.) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.41 ii dpkg 1.16.1.2 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu2 tex-common recommends no packages.
