+ 31st July 2012

+ <div class="body">
+ <p>I tried to send this text to the
+<a href="https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/">docbook-apps
+mailing list at lists.oasis-open.org</a>, but it only accept messages
+from subscribers and rejected my post, and I completely lack the
+bandwidth required to subscribe to another mailing list, so instead I
+try to post my message here and hope my blog readers can help me
+out.</p>
+
+<p>I am quite new to docbook processing, and am climbing a steep
+learning curve at the moment.</p>
+
+<p>To give you some background, I am working on a Norwegian
+translation of the book Free Culture by Lawrence Lessig, and I use
+docbook to handle the process. The files to build the book are
+available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.
+The book got around 400 pages with parts, images, footnotes, tables,
+index entries etc, which has proven to be a challenge for the free
+software docbook processors. My build platform is Debian GNU/Linux
+Squeeze.</p>
+
+<p>I want to build PDF, EPUB and HTML version of the book, and have
+tried different tool chains to do the conversion from docbook to these
+formats. I am currently focusing on the PDF version, and have a few
+problems.</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>Using dblatex, the <part> handling is not the way I want to,
+ as </part> do not really end the <part>. (See
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683166">BTS report #683166</a>), the
+ xetex backend (needed to process UTF-8) give incorrect hyphens in
+ index references spanning several pages (See
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682901">BTS report #682901</a>), and
+ I am unable to get the norwegian template texts (See
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/682936">BTS report #682936</a>).</li>
+
+<li>Using straight xmlto fail with some latex error (See
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683163">BTS report
+ #683163</a>).</li>
+
+<li>Using xmlto with the fop backend fail to handle images (do not
+ show up in the PDF), fail to handle a long footnote (overlap
+ footnote and text body, see
+ <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/683197">BTS report #683197</a>), and
+ fail to create a correct index (some lack page ref, and the page
+ refs listed are not right).</li>
+
+<li>Using xmlto with the dblatex backend behave like dblatex.</li>
+
+<li>Using docbook-xls with xsltproc + fop have the same footnote and
+ index problems the xmlto + fop processing.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>So I wonder, what would be the best way to create the PDF version
+of this book? Are some of the bugs found above solved in new or
+experimental versions of some docbook tool chain?</p>
+
+<p>What about HTML and EPUB versions?</p>

+ 25th July 2012

+ <div class="body">
+ <p>DIFI har
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/DIFI_foresl_r___kaste_ut_ODF_og_ta_inn_OOXML_fra_statens_standardkatalog.html">en
+høring gående</a> om ny versjon av statens standardkatalog, med frist
+2012-09-30, der det foreslås å fjerne ODF fra katalogen og ta inn ISO
+OOXML. I den anledning minnes jeg
+<a href="http://www.regjeringen.no/upload/FAD/Vedlegg/IKT-politikk/Refkat_v2.pdf">notatet
+FAD skrev</a> da versjon 2 av standardkatalogen var under
+utarbeidelse, da FAD og DIFI fortsatt forsto poenget med og verdien av
+frie og åpne standarder.</p>
+
+<p>Det er mange som tror at OOXML er ett spesifikt format, men det
+brukes ofte som fellesbetegnelse for både formatet spesifisert av
+ECMA, ISO, og formatet produsert av Microsoft Office (aka docx), som
+dessverre ikke er det samme formatet. Fra en av de som implementerte
+støtte for docx-formatet i KDE fikk jeg høre at ISO-spesifikasjonen
+var en nyttig referanse, men at det var mange avvik som gjorde at en
+ikke kunne gå ut ifra at Microsoft Office produserte dokumenter i
+henhold til ISO-spesifikasjonen.</p>
+
+<p>ISOs OOXML-spesifikasjon har (eller hadde, usikker på om
+kommentaren er oppdatert) i følge
+<a href="http://surguy.net/articles/ooxml-validation-and-technical-review.xml">Inigo
+Surguy</a> feil i mer enn 10% av eksemplene, noe som i tillegg gjør
+det vanskelig å bruke spesifikasjonen til å implementere støtte for
+ISO OOXML. Jeg har ingen erfaring med å validere OOXML-dokumenter
+selv, men ser at
+<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5124">Microsoft
+har laget en validator</a> som jeg ikke kan teste da den kun er
+tilgjengelig på MS Windows. Finner også en annen kalt
+<a href="http://code.google.com/p/officeotron/">Office-O-Tron</A> som
+er oppdatert i fjor. Lurer på om de validerer at dokumenter er i
+formatet til Microsoft office, eller om de validerer at de er i
+henhold til formatene spesifisert av ECMA og ISO. Det hadde også vært
+interessant å se om docx-dokumentene publisert av det offentlige er
+gyldige ISO OOXML-dokumenter.</p>

+ <p>I reported earlier that I am working on
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Dugnad_for___sende_norsk_versjon_av_Free_Culture_til_stortingets_representanter_.html">a
+norwegian version</a> of the book
+<a href="http://free-culture.cc/">Free Culture</a> by Lawrence Lessig.
+Progress is good, and yesterday I got a major contribution from Anders
+Hagen Jarmund completing chapter six. The source files as well as a
+PDF and EPUB version of this book are available from
+<a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig">github</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I am happy to report that the draft for the first two chapters
+(preface, introduction) is complete, and three other chapters are also
+completely translated. This completes 26 percent of the number of
+strings (equivalent to paragraphs) in the book, and there is thus 74
+percent left to translate. A graph of the progress is present at the
+bottom of the github project page. There is still room for more
+contributors. Get in touch or send github pull requests with fixes if
+you got time and are willing to help make this book make it to
+print. :)</p>
+
+<p>The book translation framework could also be a good basis for other
+translations, if you want the book to be available in your
+language.</p>
