The updated list of docs with an invalid link is at

I have just fixed many docs all over /doc/ and made them DTD compliant at the
same time.
Please check that I did not screw up your docs, especially non-latin alphabet
ones. You may slap me with a fish if I did ;-)

The following invalid docs are still in need of attention (or retirement)
./doc/ja/portage-user.xml
./doc/ja/build.xml
./doc/ru/gentoo-pda.xml
./doc/ru/gentoo-hppa-install.xml
./doc/ru/gentoo-x86-install.xml
./doc/ru/lvm.xml

With kind regards,

I've committed the necessary DTD changes to CVS. However, sadly, it also
contains a fix I'd rather not see, namely the acceptance of block entities
within a <ti>...</ti> construction.

Kurt and Pieter have asked this for the release-guidelines (put images
inside a table) and the project page (note's inside a table) respectively.

May I ask *not* to do this in your documentation? I can see how allowing
images inside a table can still be accepted, but I'm hardly in favor of
placing note's and such within one.

Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen

I will leave the XSL as-is for the next 24 hours. After those, I will take
the liberty to apply Xavier's XSL changes in CVS. Perhaps not in the 25th
hour, but within a few days without further notice.

If your documents aren't fixed (check Xavier's list sent previously in this
thread) and we receive bugreports about them, I will probably move them in
the Attic until you've fixed those.

Wkr,
Sven Vermeulen
