Just a quick idea: what about adding "semantic" templates to the wiki?
I'd rather vote to enhance the wiki to make it accept DocBook XML as an input format. OTOH, in technical books you often do not need all this semantic markup. The mediawiki file format is rich enough for computer related books.
I'm thinking about {{menu|File}} and similar...
I believe people do not like curly braces. Curly braces are one of the reasons why LaTeX "failed". BTW, we try solve a problem that does not exist. Look at it from another point of view. If you want to write a book, use a markup system suitable for books (XML, Texinfo, LaTeX, Frame (mif), etc.). If you want to write wiki-like online articles with fast turn around times and want others to contribute to them, use a simple markup system such as basic HTML or the "standard" mediawiki format. Later, if it turns out, you need some of the online articles as sections of a book, convert them to XML--manually or with the help of some editor marcos. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
