[Moin-user] 'module' object has no attribute 'expat' when saving from gui editor

Ok, thanks. Good to know about the regexp problem. At this point, I'll
be happy if it just worked with static includes. I did a test on the
moinmoin wiki and see that it works there with includes
<http://moinmo.in/DavidCramer>, so it's something with my
environment/installation.
I think the "Render as DocBook" is a nice feature to have. It gives our
developers a way to write up a first draft of content in a format that
we in tech pubs can consume directly without a lot of tedious markup.
Another direction I would like to see this taken is to add
actions/formatters to generate the DocBook and further process it into
other outputs. Currently I do this by having my doc build script grab
the docbook verison of the page and xslt it to my liking, but having it
integrated into the wiki as an action would improve the usabiity. Here
are the things I would be interested in seeing:
* Make pdfs of higher quality than is currently possible with the
actions/macros based on htmldoc. The DocBook Open Repository XSLs are
highly configurable stylesheets for turning DocBook into a variety of
formats <http://docbook.sourceforge.net/>. For example, a feature the
DocBook xsls have is to automatically break lines in code listings at a
configurable list of characters and add a arrow to indicate that the
line has been broken for typographical reasons. This would avoid the
situation where a code listing that looks fine in html, but runs off the
side of the page in the pdf. There is an open source fo renderer,
Apache's fop <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/>, that can take the
XML and turn it into a pdf.
* Generate help sets from a wiki page (or set of pages Included into
one page). The xsls can turn it into something like this:
http://www.thingbag.net/docbook/docbook-webhelp/index.html So then your
wiki is a help authoring tool too :-)
* In addition to being able to use the Include macro to make a big page
out of smaller pages, and then generate a book from that, you could
create a "map" page that defines a table of contents of other pages.
These other pages could be collected in a book. One advanage over the
Include() method is that headings would automatically be adjusted to the
appropriate level for their place in the tree. If you had created
something as an h2 in moinmoin, and then wanted to use it as an h4, the
xsls would do the work.
