[Po4a-Devel] Re: using future Texinfo parser/reader for Texinfo Locale::Po4a parser?
Hello Patrice,
thanks for your message.
The SWIG part is really not a problem, as we already kinda depend on onsgml (an
ELF program) for the SGML module. po4a itself only recommends this dependency
(but for the test: it's required for the tests).
https://github.com/mquinson/po4a/blob/master/Build.PL#L21
So, we'd be really glad if you could help us building a robust parser for
Texinfo, as our current parser is crippled with issues, making it almost
useless. I'd be relieved to actually remove our existing parser.
You help is really welcome. It's great, thanks.

Hello,
I am a developper of GNU Texinfo. For the next release, we are planning
an interface to a Texinfo Parser/Reader similar to libxml2 reader
(XML::LibXML::Reader) or Pod::Simple::PullParser. I think that it could
be possible to use that Parser/Reader interface to do a Locale::Po4a
parser relatively easily. However, the interface is actually a SWIG
wrapper around internal libraries. Using that interface therefore adds
a requirement on makeinfo/texi2any (or equivalently on the
makeinfo/texi2any internal libraries), which may not be practical for
you.
Would you be interested by a Locale::Po4a Texinfo parser based on this
interface?
