po4a (convert PO to/from other documentation formats) po4a (PO for anything) eases translations and their maintenance, allowing gettext's usage on unexpected areas like documentation. In po4a each documentation format is handled by a module that converts this format to/from PO. Formats handled by po4a: - asciidoc: AsciiDoc format. - dia: uncompressed Dia diagrams. - docbook: DocBook XML. - guide: Gentoo Linux's XML documentation format. - ini: INI format. - kernelhelp: Help messages of each kernel compilation option. - latex: LaTeX format. - man: Good old manual page format. - pod: Perl Online Documentation format. - sgml: either DebianDoc or DocBook DTD. - texinfo: The info page format. - tex: generic TeX documents (see also latex). - text: simple text document. - wml: WML documents. - xhtml: XHTML documents. - xml: generic XML documents (see also docbook). - yaml: YAML documents. man pages are encoded in UTF-8. To read them in other languages than English, do this for instance: LANG=ru_RU.utf8 GROFF_ENCODING=utf8 man See README_SBo.txt for dependency info and build options.
