PO/XML tools for Debian ----------------------- Overview: This package contains several tools for working with PO-files and DocBook XML files. Binaries included are: po2xml: translates a DocBook XML file using a PO-file split2po: creates a PO-file from two DocBook XML files swappo: swaps msgid and msgstr fields in a PO-file transxx: creates a basic fleshed-out PO-file from a PO-template file xml2pot: creates a PO-template file from a DocBook XML file Please see the relevant manpages for further information on each tool. Warning: The PO/XML tools are fussy about system identifiers (unlike some other XML processing tools). When writing DocBook XML files, if a DTD is declared then a system identifier must be included also. Thus (for example) the following declaration is invalid, and will cause the PO/XML tools to break: <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN"> On the other hand, both of the following declarations are acceptable: <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1/docbookx.dtd"> <!DOCTYPE article> See "DocBook: The Definitive Guide" (in the docbook-defguide package) for further information. -- Ben Burton <bab@debian.org>, Thu, 24 Mar 2005 07:59:47 +1100
