Ooh, fabulous. This is exactly what XML/XSL should be used for... only problem is that this has the nasty requirement of adding an xml/xsl processor to the build process. Given the project's reliance on XML/XSL for the doc builds, having this in the base system is something that I'd very much like to see. Is there someone in the crowd who wants to convince the "keep the base tree small" camp that there is indeed a need and use for the libxml/xslt bits? If things get far enough down the road and a shepherd is needed for the libxml/libxslt bits, I wouldn't mind doing that given that I track the library pretty closely and know it pretty well too (wrote ruby-libx(ml|slt)). -sc --=20 Sean Chittenden --BzhqTaE66jeIVBY0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Sean Chittenden <sean@chittenden.org> iD8DBQE+bcq73ZnjH7yEs0ERAlyoAKDX9OrnI53gNWOmCEyhrgAdUM0fHQCgiaQh k//xkwFik2nTvtWXPq+C3Xs= =kTP6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BzhqTaE66jeIVBY0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
