UTF-8 transition (debiandoc-sgml) and request for help with LaTeX (CJK)



Hi,

(Reply-To: debian-doc@lists.debian.org)

The new debiandoc-sgml package 1.2.2 is capable of creating UTF-8
output.  (I did this anyway ....)

I believe plain text and HTML generation should be fine and most PS and
PDF should work too.

In order to make debiandoc-sgml based documentation to be UTF-8 encoded,
following actions are needed.
 * change the source text encoding to UTF-8
 * change build script to specify UTF-8 locale as argument of -l option.
     e.g. "-l  en_US.UTF-8"

Some limited locales (mostly CJK.UTF-8) currently suffer problem
building PS and PDF.  I am still requesting help.  Especially, CJK tex
expert. (See below for exact list) All I need to know is the startup
LaTeX code for each locale.

So anyone is willing to work on this, please let me know.

Osamu

PS:  Due to some CVS problem on alioth, I can not add file.  So Debian
tar ball is the only source you can get.  I am thinking this to move to
git repository somewhere ...
