Urk. Last night, I took the latest HTML files in .../html/C,
used "cat" to join them together, and then retagged as DocBook.
It's not _quite_ ready to push out; while it _does_ validate, and
produces "not unattractive" results, I really want to:
a) Reorganize the filenames into some sensible order (right now,
I don't have explicit names assigned to some of them, so
the Modular Stylesheets happily generate things like
t1973.html and x9212.html...)
b) Fix up all the internal tags so that they're managed by the
style sheets.
In DocBook, <a href="http://someurl.org"> some link </a>
turns to <ulink url="http://someurl.org"> some link </ulink>,
whilst internal links, like <a href="xacc-whatever.html#BLAH">
blah </a> _should_ turn into <link linkend="BLAH"> blah </link>,
which means that the need to know what file BLAH is in goes
away.
c) Reorder sections so it's sensible again. (I used "cat," and
so got a pretty "random" order.)
d) Split into multiple files. Right now, everything's in
"big.sgml", and it's probably easier to manage things if
sections of the "source" are in separate files.
None of these things are particularly hard; just a bit time
consuming. Incidentally, once complete, this probably is
pretty exemplary as an example of "how to use DocBook."
e) [I'll need help on this one] Integrating this into the
existing Makefile.in in a coherent way.
At any rate, my stuff is based on how things were late Friday
night, so anything that comes in later will have to get applied
again to the DocBook version manually.
I'll see if I can't get a)-d) done tomorrow, and submit a patch-or-
something for this.

The world's full of apathy, but I don't care.
