I updated: > > https://github.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/tree/master/Documentation/books_migrated Ok, I double-checked the results from dbxml2rst with pandoc (via the script). Those are the differences after running the following commands: $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/return42/sphkerneldoc/master/Documentation/books_migrated/writing_usb_driver/index.rst $ Documentation/sphinx/tmplcvt Documentation/DocBook/writing_usb_driver.tmpl writing_usb_driver.rst $ diff -uprBw writing_usb_driver.rst index.rst 1) Author data: -:Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman +:author: Kroah-Hartman Greg +:address: greg@xxxxxxxxx dbxml2rst inverted the author's name. It also added author's e-mail. IMHO, it is better to not have email address there, as it could be outdated, but this is just my personal preference. 2) dbxml2rst added a copyright information: +**Copyright** 2001-2002 : Greg Kroah-Hartman This is a good thing. 3) dbxml2rst added a GPL information. IMHO, we should add just one GPL information, per hole book (and not per converted file). 4) dbxml2rst created some references that won't be unique: +.. _intro: That's a bad thing, as I bet most converted documents will have "intro" sections. 5) dbxml2rst use ".. code-block:: c" instead of "::" I prefer using "::" 6) dbxml2rst appends a commentary at the end: +.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +.. This file was automatically converted from DocBook-XML with the dbxml +.. library (https://github.com/return42/dbxml2rst). The origin XML comes +.. from the linux kernel: +.. +.. http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git +.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) dbxml2rst did a worse job with URB conversions: -USB Home Page: http://www.usb.org +USB Home Page: `http://www.usb.org <http://www.usb.org>`__ So, in summary, at least for this document, the only thing good with dbxml2rst was that it filled the copyright info. Maybe for more complex documents, it would do a better job. Yet, in order to standardize it everywhere, I guess the best would be to produce copyright data like: .. include:: <isonum.txt> :Copyright: |copy| 2001-2002 : Greg Kroah-Hartman Regards, Mauro
