Subject: Re: [docbook] Best wiki engines or tools for wiki-to-docbook conversions?
Hello Jim, > The project's current documentation is written in docbook, but as part > of this effort, we want to make it easier for new contributors to > write documentation without overwhelming them with the details of docbook. Yes, it's important for new contributors and my current project (XSLTForms) has now a documentation in wiki format even though I would prefer an XML notation such as Docbook. > With that in mind, in your experience, what open-source wiki engines > (if any) provide the best output to docbook? If you can't think of > any, what tools may provide the best means of converting wiki text to > docbook? I would seriously consider using an XSLT stylesheet. With just adding a document element, even XSLT 1.0 can parse text in wiki format. It might sound weird but I have already parsed CSS stylesheets and XPath expressions with XSLT 1.0 only. Today, XSLT 1.0 is well supported by almost any environment, at client-side and at server-side. My current project is an XForms implementation at client-side (http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms). I have already thought of a wiki editor being integrated in a form in place of a textarea control and an extension function could, even, locally perform the XSLT transformation to DocBook notation before submitting it ! What do you think of this ? Best regards, Alain Couthures <agenceXML> Bordeaux, France
