What can I do?, look at bugs.gimp.org? ;) gimp-help is written in DocBook/SGML which is converted to HTML to be suitable for online-browsing and the help-browser plugin for GIMP. There are HTML and PS/PDF DSSSL stylesheets which can be used to produce either the HTML or some (buttugly) PS/PDF file; also we have an experimental DocBook->LaTeX converter written in python by me which tends to produce much better PDF output. The DocBook source is written such that the conversion to XML is merely changing the DTD to an XML one; in short: it is already supposed to be valid XML. It just hadn't been done so far because the tools were not mature and fast enough last time I looked but if they were now.... So what we need is: - A featurerich (and possibly FAST!) XSLT processor - XSLT files and CSS stylesheets to produce XHTML which looks nice in nowadays webbrowsers - XSLT files which produce output which is grokkable by the (new?) helpbrowser plugin; That means we either need simple HTML files for something like the current plugin or some other (new?) simple fileformat which allows for additional features which also need to be defined. This has to be discussed with the person(s) who will code that (and that certainly won't be me). This need a lot of planning and someone with your experience can possibly bring in some thoughts which would be really appreciated. -- Servus, Daniel
