Very neat. I also had to install dblatex. I like the separation
between automated conversion and patches to fix it up. Some quick
reactions:
. The generated HTML refers to some missing files like
"images/prev.gif". I assume "make publish" would have taken care of
that; maybe it would be possible for a similar target to take care
of putting a symlink or copy of the images/ dir in the source tree
for easy previewing.
. The lack of indentation in the source is nice. Less fussy.
. That said, if there were a way to preserve the whitespace of the
original and just substitute tags (so diff-ing between the before
and after would be possible), that would be even better. I
understand that's probably impossible. I fell back to using "git
diff --no-index --word-diff=color" to find meaningful differences.
. Sometimes the spacing around closing tags looks unidiomatic, as in
... The detailed
procedure for gracefully orphaning a package can be found in the Debian
Developer's Reference (see <xref linkend="related"/> ). </para>
</footnote>
The extra space carries over to the rendered HTML, too. Is that
intentional?
. Quotation marks were lost, for example in “Originally called "Debian
GNU/Linux Policy Manual", ...” at the start of the policy manual.
. Aside from the quotation marks and spaces, I couldn't find any
artifacts. Seems like a good conversion.
Thanks much; nicely done.
