RE: resurrecting sgml-base
Hi,
I am just getting started with SGML.
I'm primarily using Emacs/PSGML/nsgmls/jade/jadetex/pdfjadetex with the
DocBook V3.0 DTD to produce documentation for C++ software development
(user's guide and programmer's guide).
I'm working on taking a C++ documentation extractor (doxygen, to be
specific) and rewriting a backend for it to produce DocBook SGML documents.
Please let me know if you have better ideas... I hate going down the garden
path astray.
Anyway, I'd be interested in ramping up my knowledge of SGML... slowly :).
So if there is some **small** tasks that you think I could accomplish,
please propose them to me.
This will be the only time that I put both of my sigs down... just to give
people a picture of who this new voice is. I'm not yet a package maintainer
nor have I registered with debian... I'll get to that soon.
Luca
