Dear Documentators!
I like your HTML manuals, and I very often use GIMP. I'm working as a
system administrator, and I want to create manuals like yours (eg.
this http://docs.gimp.org/en/preface.html#gimp-team).
I'm looking for the (programming) language / standard / syntax
information of the manual pages, and that software, what can generate
these nice HTML pages.
Can you tell me these informations?
This manual is a mix of different technologies.
xml-docbook - for the manual structure and HTML/PDF conversion
xml2po - for the internationalization of the doc
make (via autoconf/automake) - for the test/updated of the po files/compilation
Please note that this approach could be seen as trying to kill mosquitos
with a bazooka for any doc less than 100 pages...
There could be many other (easier) way to the same.
See google for markdown for an example, or you can consider using a wiki
(like mediawiki) with an pdf/epub plugin.
Your mileage may vary.
