<title>Editor for LinuxDoc/DocBook</title>

<para>
The discussion on <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4310:200304:claiepedajakajhoajgg">One-page
replacement for LDP-Author-Guide</ulink> took an interesting turn when
Tabatha sent in <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4346:200305:pjodbfhkoeponcdaajjl">her
views</ulink> regarding an online editor for LinuxDoc/DockBook.
Her requirements include prompting user for tags and
validating/processing the document at the backend. She also indicated
that someone was working on a PHP based tool for the same and that the
the <quote>form</quote> idea, where a user could enter the relevant
document information and then proceed to fill in the blanks until the
document is complete is the secret of success. Greg Ferguson, however
felt that it would be clunky and <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4354:200305:loceblldbelajghaloeg">said
that he was not sure</ulink> how tables, code examples, graphics would
be handled and preferred the *easy* way of using a Sample-HOWTO.xml with
good old reliable <command>vi</command>.
</para>
<para>
Several people went on to discuss an alternative interface
and tools that might solve the problem of editing in LinuxDoc/DockBook.
