Hvordan man konverterer en UserBase manual til Docbook

Other languages:

Forord

Den aktuelle proces er ikke finslebet, skriptkoden er grim og ikke intelligent nok osv. Den eneste undskyldning er, at det kræver noget arbejde .

Hvis du ønsker at forbedre processen, er vel bekendt med Python og kender principperne for at skrive docbook-dokumenter, så kan du forbedre proceduren. Kontakt Yurchor, hvis du kan hjælpe.

Forbered en side for konvertering

Tjek, at manualsiden følger UserBases retningslinjer for forfattere og de typograpfiske retningslinjer.

Tjek, at hver side har en overskrift svarende til sidens niveau i indholdsfortegnelsen.

Referencetabel
UserBase	Docbook	Kommentar
==Section==	<chapter>
===Section===	<sect1>
====Section====	<sect2>
=====Section=====	<sect3>
======Section======	<sect4>	Undgå så vidt muligt at bruge dette sidste niveau

Tjek, at alle tabelceller har mellemrum efter 'pipe'-tegnet. Denne regel er i overensstemmelse med traditionel wiki-formattering.

Sørg for, at formatteringen af programnavne er konsistent (undgå at bruge Amaroks, brug Amarok's — i danske oversættelser skal apostroffen dog normalt ikke være der).

Ensure that all images are in PNG format.

Remove all non-printable characters from image names.

Export

Prepare the page list (strip from UserBase addresses http://userbase.kde.org). Example for Amarok:

Tip

You can obtain the full list of pages for your application with the following script:

<DPL>
  nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%(%)
  titlematch = Amarok%
  namespace = Main
  columns = 1
  format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
</DPL>

Replace Amarok with the name of your application, put it on your user page, and click on Preview. Rearrange the list according to the ToC of your manual.

Go to the export page.

Paste the page list into the bigger text field.

Click on Export.

Save the file. The saved file will be called Manual.xml in what follows.

Conversion

Install Subversion package for your system.

Checkout the latest version of conversion script:

svn checkout --depth=files svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/doc/

Copy Manual.xml to the script folder.

Run
```
python wiki2docbook.py Manual.xml
```
if you want to download all screenshots (it takes some time to download all images from UserBase, grep and wget should be installed), or
```
python wiki2docbook.py -s Manual.xml
```
if you need not to download images.

Post-processing

Rename Manual.xml.docbook to index.docbook.

Check if conversion was done correctly:
```
checkXML index.docbook
```

Fix the errors (better on UserBase pages).

Convert docbook to HTML:
```
meinproc4 index.docbook
```

Check HTML pages (all images should be visible, links should not lead to 404-pages).

Replace big images by thumbnails using convert from ImageMagick

Fix links in docbook, so they lead to docbook section, not UserBase pages.

Fix application name according to KDE entity list.

Copy index.docbook and images to your /doc folder and commit them to repository.
