Description : edit a DocBook document online
DocBookWiki can also be used to edit a DocBook document online, from the web.
Editing will be done one section at a time, so the editor selects first the section
that he wants to edit, and then edits it. He can edit it in several modes: text
(like wiki), xml (the original format), html, latex, texi, etc., whichever is more
suitable for him. The changes, however, are always saved in the XML(DocBook)
format. Authentication of the editors (with username, password) can be enabled as
well, if necessary. Also, different editing permissions can be assigned to them as
well.
It allows the viewers of a document to download the document in other formats, like
PDF, RTF, Plain HTML, LaTeX, PS, etc. which can be generated automatically from the
DocBook format.
DocBookWiki will also try to keep a history of all the modifications made to the
document, by keeping the document chunks in CVS, and so keeping track of all the
changes.
The features of DocBookWiki can be summarized like this:
* Can display a DocBook document online.
* Can display several documents at once (a list of books).
* Can display each of them in several languages.
* Allows to edit a certain section of a certain book in a certain language.
* Editing can be done in several modes, like text, html, xml, texi, latex etc.
* The basic format is always DocBook (XML), no matter how it is displayed or
edited.
* Each document (in each language) can be converted automatically into other
formats (like PDF, RTF, LaTeX, etc.) for downloading.
* All the history of modifications is kept (in CVS) and any previous versions of
a document can be recovered (by tag or by date) by the admin of the site.
In short, DocBookWiki will be like a wikiwiki which saves the content in XML
(DocBook) format.
