[gentoo-dev] xml in gentoo documentation

[kirill j.]

Hi!

I'm currently in the process of writing my first guide, using
gentoo-web -tools. I was inspired by xml-guide.html.
I am not really that good into xml or even html or css, so I'm asking for
help here:

the problem is that i've included a copy/paste from kernel's 'make
menuconfig' into my guide.
xml dont like it (it doesn't like the <M>'s, which it thinks are incomplete
tags).

is there anyway to tell xml to ignore everything withing some specific tag?

<pre> </pre> doesn't seem to help.


thnx
-kirill

You have to replace them with things like "&lt;M&gt;". Here is a
snippet of perl from a utility I have that creates a web page from some
standard text input:

sub tohtml {
	my $line=$_;
	$line =~ s/\&/&amp;/g;
	$line =~ s/\</&lt;/g;
	$line =~ s/\>/&gt;/g;
	$line =~ s/\"/&quot;/g;
	$line =~ s/\t/&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/g;
	$line =~ s/ /&nbsp;/g;
	return $line;
}

HTH.
