Re: [OpenSER-Docs] migrating sgml to xml

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?
