Folks,
We need a new maintainer for the LDP XSLT stylesheets.
As I mentioned in another message, the LDP XSLT stylesheets that are
a customization layer on top of the 'standard' DocBook XSLT stylesheets.
When I last updated them, they were based on version 1.44 of the DocBook
stylesheets. I see on:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935
that the stylesheets are now up to 1.61.2. I know, from a report, that
the LDP stylesheets don't work with the latest as it sounds like the way
documentation in the standard stylesheets is done has changed - and my
layer just copied/pasted some of that code.
So someone needs to install the latest docbook-xsl, install the ldp.xsl,
and then test the various pages to see if the HTML generation actually
works... and then, of course, fix it and roll a new ldp.xsl that can be
referenced off of:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/usingldpxsl.html
The thing is... it can no longer be me. I'm no longer working with
DocBook on a daily basis (or even doing documentation) and I simply
have no cycles to do much of anything to help out.
As that page in the LAG indicates, ldp-print.xsl also needs work as it
has never been touched. The idea was to give it the print options similar
to what is in ldp.dsl.
Anyway, the stylesheets need to be updated... and we need someone to
do it.
Regards,
Dan
