I think I have the beginnings of this underway (q.v. "cvs diff -r1.80
-r1.81 Makefile.common"). I think we should handle all our entity and
document snippet generation the same way we handle our docs, i.e.
subdirectories for PRI_LANG and PO. Or is this overkill? Our entities
and snippets have changed enough over time in the last couple of years
that I think the ROI is worth it. What do you think?
Anyhoo, the upshot is that now a document author can write a
"entities.xml" file in his PRI_LANG directory, using the DTD
"../../docs-common/common/entities/entities.dtd". Write any local
entities needed, including DOCNAME, DOCVERSION, DOCDATE, DOCID, and
BUG-NUM, and you're off to the races. This file will be combined with
the docs-common/common/entities/entities-${LANG}.xml file to generate
the "locale-entities.xml" file in your module's top directory.
The only thing any document will need for its DTD is the following:
<!DOCTYPE ........ [
<!ENTITY % LOCALE-ENTITIES SYSTEM "../locale-entities.xml">
%LOCALE-ENTITIES;
]>
(Every XML document now has its own DTD declaration, and you should put
this in each one.)
