Perl to DocBook

jmerelo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have used the example that comes with Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Kate and changed it so that it transforms Perl code into Docbook; however, it's not too exhaustive, and probably not ideal. What I want to do is to convert Perl code to something that can be included into a DocBook article or tutorial. Â¿Any other idea?

Hi, For Docbook XML, just use the <computeroutput> or <programlisting> tags. See: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/documentation-guide/s1-xml-tags-compoutput.html Part of the Amanda docs I helped do: http://amanda.cvs.sourceforge.net/amanda/xml-docs/howto/install.xml?revision=1.20&view=markup P.S> I am on the Fedora Core Docs team ;-) Walking the road to enlightenment...

Yep, that's what I'm using, but I would like the Perl code to be automatically DocBook-tagged, if possible. I've done a bit towards it, but not enough!	[reply]

I don't understand. Where is this code? What more do you need other than <programlisting>? Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply]

Something else that might help is Super Searching for "syntax highlighting", or have a look at code2html. HTH, planetscape	[reply]

Yep, code2html might be a good option, but I rather would like something like code2docbook	[reply]
