    Preparing Pages for Conversion

    • Check if every page has its header according to the level of this page in table of contents.
    Reference table
    UserBase Docbook Comment
    ==Section== <chapter>
    ===Section=== <sect1>
    ====Section==== <sect2>
    =====Section===== <sect3>
    ======Section====== <sect4> Avoid using this last level if possible
    • Make application name formatting consistent (avoid using Amaroks, do use Amarok's).
    • Ensure that all images are in PNG format.
    • Remove all non-printable characters from image names.

    Export

    • Prepare the page list (strip from UserBase addresses http://userbase.kde.org). Example for Amarok:

    Tip
    You can obtain the full list of pages for your application with the following script:
    <DPL>
      nottitlematch = %/__|%/zh-%|%(%)
      titlematch = Amarok%
      namespace = Main
      columns = 1
      format = ,\n* [[%PAGE%|%TITLE%]],,
    </DPL>
    Replace Amarok with the name of your application, put it on your user page, and click on Preview. Rearrange the list according to the ToC of your manual.


    • Paste the page list into the bigger text field.
    • Click on Export.
    Export of Amarok manual pages
    • Save the file. The saved file will be called Manual.xml in what follows.

    Conversion

    • Install Subversion package for your system.
    • Checkout the latest version of conversion script:
      svn checkout --depth=files svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/doc/
    • Copy Manual.xml to the script folder.
    • Run
      python wiki2docbook.py Manual.xml
      if you want to download all screenshots (it takes some time to download all images from UserBase, grep and wget should be installed), or
      python wiki2docbook.py -s Manual.xml
      if you need not to download images.

    Post-processing

    • Rename Manual.xml.docbook to index.docbook.
    • Check if conversion was done correctly:
      checkXML index.docbook
    • Fix the errors (better on UserBase pages).
    • Convert docbook to HTML:
      meinproc4 index.docbook
    • Check HTML pages (all images should be visible, links should not lead to 404-pages).
    • Replace big images by thumbnails using convert from ImageMagick
    • Fix links in docbook, so they lead to docbook section, not UserBase pages.
    • Fix application name according to KDE entity list.
    • Copy index.docbook and images to your /doc folder and commit them to repository.
