------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To do list for debiandoc-sgml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Considering general trend towards DocBook XML and availability of DocBook XML conversion tools such as debiandoc2dbk within this package, the maintenance of DebianDoc-SGML package will be very conservative and the feature enhancement are unlikely. See README.Debian. If you are starting new documentation, please use Docbook XML.
