Greg at al: Please take a look at the press release format that Tommy put together. Working in XML allows us to plug into translation easily. If you want the full thread, I explain some of the other ideas we have thought about: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2006-February/msg00028.html Tommy's solution is nice because it's easy to edit, IMO. Hopefully it's easy enough even for Marketing types. /me runs -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Tommy Reynolds <Tommy.Reynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: For participants of the Documentation Project <fedora-docs- list@xxxxxxxxxx> To: fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: press release format, for translation too Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 09:04:50 -0600 Uttered Karsten Wade <kwade@xxxxxxxxxx>, spake thus: > > Got an example of a pretty press release you like? > IMO, it should be like what are delivered to Business Wire. Plain text, > written to follow a non-bylined journalistic style: > http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/060131/20060131005159.html?.v=1 I've put together a 0.0.0.0test1 version of a Press Release technology, based on a tiny DTD and an XSL stylesheet. It's not DocBook, but still tiny enough to be understood or copied at a glance. Find a copy at: http://www.megacoder.com/pub/press/ ftp://ftp.megacoder.com/pub/press/ I've also included a dummy release in both PDF and TXT formats, made using the latest FOP from CVS and my hacked xmlto that uses it. Lacking that, you should be able to run xsltproc manually. I didn't quite know what to do about identifying the source of the press release, or a byline, or the like, so I just left it out. They could be added if you have an example; I'm flying blind here.
