#10342: Convert User Guide from DocBook to AsciiDoc -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dmbergey | Owner: dmbergey Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: | Version: 7.10.1 Documentation | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Keywords: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Architecture: | Blocked By: Unknown/Multiple | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- See initial proposal and discussion on the mailing list: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-October/006599.html and the more recent call for volunteers: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/blog/weekly20150414 Quoting the latter: the idea [is] that it will A) make life easier for people who frequently modify the users guide, and B) make life easier for people who add things irregularly, as a lower barrier to entry. I expect that asciidoc & DocBook can coexist while I work on this. After the initial changes to the build system, the docbook-to-HTML phase should read both the asciidoc-generated XML and the not-yet-converted XML files. This ticket will track progress on the task, as I plan to submit multiple patches, perhaps as many as one per file converted. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10342 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
