[opensuse-doc] Need some info to resolve problems for French doc
by Guillaume Gardet 21 May '12

21 May '12

Hi, I am trying to update the french translation of openSUSE manuals but I have some problems. It seems to come from xml2po which does not handle right productnamereg and productname tags: <!ENTITY productname '<phrase os="osuse">&opensuse;</phrase><phrase os="sles">&sls;</phrase><phrase os="sled">&sled;</phrase>'> <!ENTITY productnamereg '<phrase os="osuse">&opensusereg;</phrase><phrase os="sles">&slsreg;</phrase><phrase os="sled">&sledreg;</phrase>'> <!ENTITY productnumber '<phrase os="osuse">12.2</phrase><phrase os="sles;sled">11 SP2</phrase><phrase os="sled">11 SP2</phrase>'> Where are they defined so that I can modify them manually and test if it really comes from there?

[opensuse-doc] Important: Resolving &productname; entities
by Frank Sundermeyer 21 May '12

21 May '12

Hi, the entities &productname; &productnamereg; and &productnumber; used to be resolved by processing instructions, so the product is automatically set to the value defined with the accompanying variables in the DC-file. Although this solution was very convenient, it needed a lot of code in the SUSE stylesheets that was difficult to maintain. Therefore we decided to drop that code with the latest version of the suse-xsl-stylesheets (>= 1.9.6). From now on the entities &productname; &productnamereg; and &productnumber; need to be defined as follows in xml/entity-decl.ent: ------------------- <!ENTITY productname '<phrase os="osuse">&opensuse;</phrase><phrase os="sles">&sls;</phrase><phrase os="sled">&sled;</phrase>'> <!ENTITY productnamereg '<phrase os="osuse">&opensusereg;</phrase><phrase os="sles">&slsreg;</phrase><phrase os="sled">&sledreg;</phrase>'> <!ENTITY productnumber '<phrase os="osuse">12.1</phrase><phrase os="sles;sled">11 SP2</phrase><phrase os="sled">11 SP2</phrase>'> -------------------- The only drawback of this solution is that DocBook4/NovDoc does not allow <phrase> in <literal> and <guimenu>, so you need to fix that in (very few) places. Note: The new solution is backwards compatible, so if you do not use the latest SUSE stylesheets (as available from Documentation:Tools), yet, switching to the new product* entities will not hurt. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-doc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] Terminal output
by Thomas R. Jones 18 May '12

18 May '12

What is the recommended format of terminal output? I expect that <command></command><computeroutput></computeroutput> but want to be in compliance with other authors. Also, its been awhile since I wrote with novdoc; what wrapping/hyphenation directives are available to authors? I've got output that is 100-105 columns wide. Looks ugly on the pdf....simply concatenates. Thanks for your time. -- Thomas R. Jones <trj(a)thomasrjones.com>
