[Bug 12217] Documentation should be in XML and not SGML format

[wine-bugs at winehq.org]

--- Comment #18 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio at earthlink.net> ---
All three guides are now on the wiki:

https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_User's_Guide
https://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_User's_Guide
https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_Developer's_Guide (that page is the table of
contents; each chapter is a separate subpage)

I did not port "The Wine DocBook System" section of the Developer's Guide since
that is now superfluous, and I revised the first part of the "Documenting Wine"
 chapter to refer readers to the wiki rather than the SGML files, but other
than that my focus has been on porting the existing information over and making
sure the formatting looks (mostly) the same, not updating content. 

A daily backup of the whole wiki in XML format is available on
http://dl.winehq.org/wine/, and I included that link in the "Documenting Wine"
chapter of the Developer's Guide. 

I don't know how difficult it would be to provide an XML backup of only the
guides, or whether it's worth doing that. Anyone can save the Mediawiki files
and use Pandoc to convert them to XML, but I suspect they'll have to manually
fix some of the markup (I know I had to going the other direction).
