Wiki->DocBook Update

[Tommy Reynolds]

Hey, Ya'll!

I wanted to pass around the good news.

Patrick Barnes and I investigated the Wiki->XML conversion with the
moin-1.3.5-2 RPM.  (This is the latest stable version.)   If a page
generated <screen>...</screen> output, the results would fail to
validate.  We've found the flaw. I have sent Matthias Saou, the
RPM maintainer, a patch.

Twice uttered Matthias Saou <matthias at rpmforge.net> this:

When the moin-1.3.5-3 RPM becomes available, if we can get THAT
installed on the Wiki server then we should be able to Wiki->DocBook
in a fairly automated way.

MoinMoin conversion is driven by a state-change engine that knows
nothing about DocBook.  So, you can still generate invalid DocBook if
you say, output a title (a <section>) that does not include any
content (a <para>), but at least the XML is now well-formed.

Cheers
