I posted this message without success. I hope it can pass through. ************************ Dear friends, First of all, thanks for this great work on po4a. Presently, I am writing a contrarian book, available freely over the internet, about the real estate bubble in France and UK. The book is available (freely) there : http://www.bulle-immobiliere.org I am trying to use po4a to translate the docbook XML source files. The command line is : po4a-gettextize -M utf-8 -f docbook \ -m introduction.docbook -p introduction.pot It works well, except for dbhtml XML extensions. For example, the following text is not parsed : ************************************************************************************ <chapter id="introduction"> <? dbhtml filename="introduction.html" ?> <title>Introduction</title> <section><title>Les origines de l'étude</title> ************************************************************************************ But the following text is parsed like a charm : ************************************************************************************ <chapter id="introduction"> <title>Introduction</title> <section><title>Les origines de l'étude</title> ************************************************************************************ I tried to send options to the parser using -o, but did not succeed. Any solution to skip <? dbhtml filename="introduction.html" ?> ? Best regards, Jean-Michel Pouré
