Comment convertir un manuel UserBase vers Docbook

Other languages:

Préface

Le processus actuel n'est pas encore peaufiné, le code du script est sale, pas assez intelligent, etc ... La seule excuse est qu'il fonctionne quand même .

Si vous voulez améliorer le processus, que vous avez une bonne expérience de Python, et que vous connaissez les principes du maniement de docbook, vous pouvez améliorer la procédure. Veuillez contacter Yurchor si vous vous sentez en mesure d'apporter votre aide.

Préparer les pages pour la conversion

Vérifiez que les pages de votre manuel respectent bien les directives des contributeurs de UserBase ainsi que les règles typographiques.

Vérifiez dans la table des matières, que chaque page a son titre indenté conformément au niveau qu'elle doit avoir.

Tableau de référence
UserBase	Docbook	Commentaire
==Section==	<chapter>
===Section===	<sect1>
====Section====	<sect2>
=====Section=====	<sect3>
======Section======	<sect4>	Ne pas utiliser ce dernier niveau dans la mesure du possible

Vérifiez que toutes les cellules des tableaux on un espace après la barre verticale de séparation '|' . Cette règle est conforme au formatage usuel du wiki.

Utilisez des noms d'application qui ont un format cohérent (évitez Amaroks, mais utilisez Amarok's).

Vérifiez que toutes les images sont au format PNG.

Enlevez tous les caractères non imprimables présents dans le nom des images.

Astuce

Vous pouvez obtenir la liste complète des pages pour votre application à l'aide du script suivant :

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

Remplacez Amarok par le nom de votre application, mettez le sur votre page utilisateur, et cliquez sur

Aperçu. Réordonnez la liste en fonction de la table des matières de votre manuel.

Allez à la page export.

Incluez la liste des pages dans le champ texte plus grand .

Cliquez sur Exporter.

Sauvegardez le fichier. Dans ce qui suit, le fichier sauvegardé sera appelé Manual.xml .

Conversion

Installer le package version Subversion pour votre système .

Checkout the latest version of conversion script:

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

Copier Manual.xml dans le répertooire du script.

Add a line containing
```
144.76.227.197 userbase.kde.org
```
to the file /etc/hosts . (You will need root privileges for this. You only need to do this once.)

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-traitement

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.

Updating Your DocBook from UserBase

To update your converted docbook please use the following procedure:

Re-export XML from UserBase. See Export section.

Use the script to update the content (headers with abstract and keywords and footer will be kept):
```
python wiki2docbook.py -r index.docbook Manual.xml
```

Check the docbook, rename the file into index.docbook and commit it with screenshots into your repository.

Convertir le DocBook vers un autre format

Convertir en PDF

Usually, there is no need to convert DocBook manually. You can download the converted PDFs from KDE Documentation site.

Should you need additional customization please do as follows:

Make sure that you have some LaTeX distribution installed (usually, TeXLive).

Create the following script file (named buildpdf.sh) in your DocBook directory:

#!/bin/bash

export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/sqml-dtd-4.2/catalog:/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/catalog.xml:/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2/docbook

# add -d to command below to keep the /tmp folder, so you can examine the generated tex.
./dblatex-cvs-install/bin/dblatex -d -b pdftex --style \
	kdestyle\
	-o $(pwd | awk -F/ '{ print $NF }').pdf \
	-P latex.output.revhistory=0  -P newtbl.use=1 \
	-P imagedata.default.scale=pagebound \
	-P literal.width.ignore=1 \
	-I $KDEDIR/share/doc/HTML/en/ \
	-X \
        $1

Download KDE styles:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/websites/docs-kde-org.git

Tweak dblatex-cvs-install/bin/dblatex in like this

#!/bin/sh

TEXINPUTS=:/path/to/your/dblatex-cvs-install/share/dblatex/latex//:$TEXINPUTS
export TEXINPUTS

/path/to/your/dblatex-cvs-install/share/dblatex/scripts/dblatex  $*

(Change /path/to/your/ as appropriate)

Copy KDE styles (/dblatex-cvs-install/share/dblatex/latex/contrib/) to some TeX dir where it can be found by LaTeX installation (I have copied them to /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/kde).

Update paths with mktexlsr from root.

Run ./buildpdf.sh index.docbook. This should create ready-to-use PDF file for you. You can stop on this step if you do not want to tweak it.

Copy all files from /tmp/tpb-your_user-digits to the work directory.

Customize and edit tex file in Kile as appropriate.

Compile PDF file with Alt + 6.

Conversion en EPUB

Make sure that Calibre is installed in your system.

Convert your DocBook into HTML first. Use meinproc4 index.docbook for this.

Start Calibre and choose Add books.

Select index.html in your DocBook folder. Wait until the book is loaded.

Choisissez Convertir les livres.

Remplissez les champs métadata de manière adéquate.

Press OK and wait until the work is done.

Copiez le livre de ~/Calibre Library vers votre lecteur de livres électroniques.
