Gentoo Linux Enhancement Proposals

==================================

This directory contains the official (CVS-controlled)
|
| 5 |
texts of current and past Gentoo Linux Enhancement
|
| 6 |
Proposals (GLEPs), along with some necessary scripts
|
| 7 |
and configuration files to facilitate converting the
|
| 8 |
GLEPs from (really quite readable) raw ASCII text
|
| 9 |
to html or xml.
|

Requirements
|
| 12 |
============
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
GLEPs are written in ReStructuredText [#ReST]_, which
|
| 15 |
is text with some minimal markup so that it is still
|
| 16 |
quite readable in source form, yet it can be readily
|
| 17 |
converted to html or xml for viewing with a browser.
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Converting ReST to html or xml requires the "docutils" python package
|
| 20 |
[#docutils]_::
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# USE=glep emerge docutils
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The Gentoo Linux docutils package includes the *glep.py* program
|
| 25 |
which transforms a GLEP in text form to the equivalent html version::
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
# glep.py glep-0001.txt glep-0001.html
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The above usage embeds the CSS stylesheet in the html file. For pages
|
| 30 |
on glep.gentoo.org, it is better to use a link instead::
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# glep.py --link-stylesheet --stylesheet-path=tools/glep.css \
|
| 33 |
> glep-0001.txt glep-0001.html
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
(Incidentally, *glep.py* contains special code to verify that
|
| 36 |
the GLEP header is reasonable. This README lacks that header,
|
| 37 |
so to convert this file to html using docutils you need to
|
| 38 |
use the more generic transformation program::
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
# rst2html.py --stylesheet-path=tools/glep.css README.txt README.html
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
to convert README.txt to README.html.)
