[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] After the webinar: flow from DocBook to Evergreen Help Texts and back

[Repke de Vries]

Hi all

at some point in last Wednesday's Webinar [1] the question was  
brought up if DocBook documents could be output in such a way that it  
becomes  Evergreen Help texts. The answer was: yes, this can be done.

This of-course would help consistency across external documentation  
(manuals, what have you) and Evergreen internal documentation = Help  
Texts, enormously.

 From an internationalisation perspective my question is: would this  
also be possible the other way around ?

We know that translation of menu structures and help texts is  
underway (like Armenian and Russian) and if we could export and feed  
back into DocBook easily, this could kick start core translated  
external documentation.

Thanks, Repke de Vries
