What might be useful (kick me if it's there already and I missed it) is a page in the wiki specifically tailored to providing advice on converting to a newer format such as DocBook (which is faaaairly easily converted to other formats), such as references to doclifter, to a simple guide on how to use DocBook for a manual page, etc etc. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
