+
+Text flow
+---------
+
+The original source for the book is freeculture.xml, a Docbook
+formattet file. This file is transformed to the freeculture.pot,
+which is the base file for translators. It was copied to
+freeculture.nb.po as the starting point of the Norwegian Bokmål
+translation, and the text blocks are translated in this file.
+
+Only the files freeculture.xml and freeculture.nb.po should be
+manually edited!
+
+The freeculture.xml file is automatically combined with the
+freeculture.nb.po file to create a new generated file
+freeculture.nb.xml representing the Norwegian Bokmål Docbook version.
+This file is in turn used to generate the HTML, PDF and EPUB version
+of the book.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+To build the PDF and EPUB version of this book, the following Debian

+
+ make
+ po4a
+ dblatex (>= 0.3.4-2 in debian, for nb support)
+ dbtoepub
+ libxml2-utils
+ gnuplot
+ xmlto
+
+When the build requirements are in place, the PDF and EPUB version of
+the book can be build by running 'make' on the command line.
