How To Convert a UserBase Manual to Docbook/da

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.

Export of Amarok manual pages

• 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.
