Hi, Dan..
If the steps that You follow could be applied to all SGML DOC files, then what about a script to do the job? I can handle this script, but need detailed instructions to follow...

Hello,
thinking about migrating to xml from the sgml, I found a good tutorial: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
Following some guidelines there, I was able to migrate the doc for dispatcher in just few steps:
- renamed extension from sgml to xml
- changed the header of disptacher.xml to conform xml structure and link
to dtd
- fixed some bogus entities defined in doc/entities.sgml (I made a local
copy to entities.xml)
- fixed some unclosed <para> tags in disptacher_user.xml
- run this futuristic command (in modules/dispatcher/doc/):
xsltproc --stringparam html.stylesheet ../../../doc/docbook.css --stringparam section.autolabel 1 --stringparam section.label.includes.component.label 1 -o dispatcher.html /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/html/docbook.xsl dispatcher.xml
- to get the readme txt format:
lynx -force_html -dump -nolist -width=72 dispatcher.html >dispatcher.txt
I downloaded http://www.openser.org/css/docbook.css in openser/doc/ folder, so I got the same look on my local generated html files as for the ones on the openser.org. The extra option now is that each chapter has its own table of content (can be removed via some option, but I didn't dig in more).
It was not that painful, but will require some work, when coming to all modules. I propose to add the docbook.css in the openser SVN under doc folder, maybe renamed as "openser-docbook.css". Also, a copy of entities.sgml as entities.xml with the required fixes (the sgml version will be removed once migration is complete).
I believe makes no sense to add support for mixed doc sources -- meaning here that some modules have sgml and some xml. If we can sync 3-4 people, and split the modules among, we can get the work done in few days. In this case, we will go directly in replacing the generation of html from sgml to xml. Will be useless work to add intermediary support in Makefile and try to detect whether is sgml or xml.
Any comment?
Cheers, Daniel
