severity 616043 wishlist tags 616043 wontfix severity 613946 wishlist thanks
Hi, Before I start, let me remind people that it is more important to convert all these SGML documents to DocBook XML. So far, I am having good success for maint-guide. I will work on this document once I get comfortable doing this conversion. http://wiki.debian.org/DocbookXmlTransition But policy is such a high profile document, I will work on this later.

I know there have been many flip-flopping. Its enough. The user of debiandoc2html can disable this by using -L option. So this is not bug for debiandoc-sgml. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/402122 first and read on to: http://bugs.debian.org/402122 (current default rationale) http://bugs.debian.org/140677 (old history) On this basis, I am closing this bug #616042 for debiandoc-sgml. If bug reporter carefully read all these bug reports, this aspect of bug #613946 is at best wishlist and debian-policy maintainer should assign wontfix tag unless submitter gives good rationale. I think we provide document for most browsers with decent capability. We do not cut down good feature useful for most user just for lowest denominator application. There are some console browsers such as w3m which can handle this OK. > retitle -2 debiandoc2html: <a name> anchors should enclose heading text Hmmm... this aspect of this bug has been so for long time. I was wondering on this when I took over this package. I do not see any real negative so this is purely aesthetic concern. If you can cite some RFC etc., then this is real minor bug otherwise this is wishlist bug which I will mark as wontfix since I am not going to change this old program's behavior any more unless it is gross problem. Until I get clear argument, I am marking this as wishlist/wontfix so I will not get similar complain. > severity -1 normal > severity -2 minor > reassign -1 debiandoc-sgml 1.2.20 > reassign -2 debiandoc-sgml 1.2.20 > usertags 613946 + packaging I see you are doing BTS cleaning. > See http://bugs.debian.org/613946 for more details. Thoughts? It has been answered. This should be fixed on Lynx side. They show up since this does not understand as I think. But I have not fully investigated so not ready to reassign this to them. Properly displaying provided feature-rich HTML is burden of clients. I think we should not blame generating software and created data. That is my thought. Thus I think this is not really a bug of debian-policy. At best it is wishlist bug. Sevrity changed to wishlist. If bug triage people think this is not a bug of debian-policy, please feel free to close this bug. I should say the more useful wishlist bug is "debian-policy should use DocBook XML for source" :-) Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
