Subject: Re: [xsl] DocBook to plain text - what do you use? From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2004 11:42:40 -0400 |
I agree that it seems like it should be much easier. That's one reason I'm puzzled that such a thing doesn't seem to exist.
Some blocks need to get indented like this: it is several lines long, and is required to *wrap* nicely, no matter what might turn up in it -- requiring the smart introduction of whitespace both at line ends and at line starts (and maybe the extent of the indent varies as well) --
Is it just that no one is interested in producing plain text? (For example, to produce README files and such from a distribution's general DocBook documentation sources?) Or is the need little enough that lynx -dump is good enough for people's purposes?
Cheers, Wendell
