  18 Hans Schou</a>.  Other versions of the book can be found from the
  19 <a href="http://free-culture.cc/remixes/">books remixes list</a>.

  31 Text flow
  32 ---------
  33
  34 The original source for the book is freeculture.xml, a Docbook
  35 formattet file.  This file is transformed to the freeculture.pot,
  36 which is the base file for translators.  It was copied to
  37 freeculture.nb.po as the starting point of the Norwegian Bokmål
  38 translation, and the text blocks are translated in this file.  The
  39 translation is maintained using
  40 <a href="https://www.transifex.com/pere/free-culture-lessig/">Transifex</a>,
  41 making sure translators only need a browser and Internet connectivity
  42 to contribute.
  43
  44 Only the file freeculture.xml should be manually edited!
  45
  46 The freeculture.xml file is automatically combined with the
  47 freeculture.nb.po file to create a new generated file
  48 freeculture.nb.xml representing the Norwegian Bokmål Docbook version.
  49 This file is in turn used to generate the HTML, PDF and EPUB version
  50 of the book.
  51

 106  * Complete the spell checking of the content (using the txt version
