Description Dave Malcolm 2004-11-18 20:38:15 UTC
As discussed on fedora-docs-list here:
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2004-November/msg00007.html

...I've created a file for adding "About this Document" boilerplate in
all Fedora Docs.  You need to set up some entities in each document
that uses it.

This bug is an RFE to track that this idea actually gets carried out.

Comment 1 Paul W. Frields 2005-06-24 21:43:54 UTC
Can the CVS instructions become an XML snippet?  And if they do, will the tools
we use "recurse" through the CVS snippet to replace entities therein with
entities derived from the document itself?  In other words, in bad
pseudo-DocBook, if:

mydoc.xml:
<!ENTITY URL "http://somewhere">
<!ENTITY CVSDIRECTIONS "cvs.xml">
Blah blah
&CVSDIRECTIONS;

cvs.xml:
Blah blah
Visit &URL;.

Then do we get this:

Blah blah
Blah blah
Visit http://somewhere.

...?

Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2005-11-27 14:33:53 UTC
These changes have more or less become standard with our docs-common/common
entities.  Enhancements can be requested through the "docs-requests" component
of the Fedora Documentation product in Bugzilla.  Closing.
