LONG LIVE DEBIANDOC (was: How to edit debiandoc in emacs with nxml)
Please forgive me this cross-post from debian-user.
-- snip --
I appended this to my sources.list:
deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
and then ran:
# apt-get update
I kept rerunning:
# apt-get install --dry-run emacs23
until all the warnings subsided, meaning all the dependency
problems were going to be resolved. It looked like this:
# apt-get install --dry-run emacs23-el emacs23-common
emacs23-bin-common libjpeg8 libtiff4
Then I removed the '--dry-run' option and ran the apt-get
install for real. It went smooth as silk, but -- more
importantly for my purposes -- the resultant emacs23 ran
perfectly with psgmlx and a debiandoc sgml document I had been
using as test doc!
NB. I had installed viz. byte-compiled the psgmlx package with
the emacs23 I yesterday built from source grabbed on
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ .
I am psyched. Now to post this over on the debian-doc list so
the "answer" is there too.
As one who in an earlier incarnation made a fairly good, if
occasional, buck tech-writing and -editing on linux topics
(which income came to an abrupt halt when the "internet bubble"
collapsed),
I am here to say that debiandoc is an excellent
publishing tool-chain. It is blessedly simple but complete for
my needs, which means it is actually FUN to use!
Thanks all, and please let's not allow debiandoc to wither on
the vine.
