Preparation of the next po4a 0.32 release
by Nicolas François
Hello,
I intend to release po4a next week (15th of August).
I don't expect a lot of string changes until then.
If you need more time to update the translations, just let me know. I can
change the date, or plan a dot-release afterwards.
If you want a feature or bug fix in 0.32, please raise your hand.
I will give a try to Server Side Includes for the Xhtml module. This will
probably introduce an option in the Xhtml module and another one in the
Xml module (and their documentation).
Here are the current status of the translations:

Xhtml module: Integrated comments and strange whitespace
by Kaloian Doganov
There is another problem with po4a-translate and Xhtml module that
I've run into.
If the input document contains a group of adjacent comments, those
adjacent comments became integrated as one big comment, preceded by
newlines. The number of preceding newlines is equal to the number of
lines used by the group of comments.
Here is an example input:
The output of `po4a-normalize --format xhtml' is:
Appart from the problem described, here we can see how the last
comment of the group has survived the integration. It looks like it
is saved by the fact that there is no whitespace between the starting
sequence "<!--" and the actual text of the comment ("#include...").
If I put a single space between them, po4a-normalize integrates this
comment alongside with the others:
As a comparament, Html module does much better job to preserve the
structure of the original document:

Translatable attributes in HTML
by Kaloian Doganov
Recently I've started to play with po4a while trying to
internationalize a bunch of articles in HTML format. One of the major
obstacles for making the job done is this: po4a considers as
translatable (almost) only the text contained between the tags of an
element. This is OK, but sometimes is not enough, since in HTML some
attributes are intended to contain a human-readable text. For
example:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/new.css" title= "All-new style of mine">
<a href="/" accesskey="1" title="Go to the project homepage">
The value of the `title' attribute here should be translatable too.
In fact, HTML.pm already does this by treating the IMG's `alt'
attribute specially and thus making it's value translatable. Maybe
IMG's `alt' is the most common case for an attribute that needs
translation, but there are three other elements that also can contain
`alt': INPUT, AREA and APPLET. They deserve the same treatment as
IMG.
Also, it would be nice if `title' attribute is considered translatable
too (keeping in mind that any element can contain a `title'
attribute).
A patch that solves those two problems is attached.

Hi,
It seems that the "\n*" are replaced by " *" (where * is not a wildcard).
