Hello, Could someone tell me what is the best way to compare, for instance the English and the French version of the user manual ? Is there a text editor with an XML parser or something like that, in order to have both versions one next to the other ? Or does everyone use a simple text editor ?
Hi,
Don't know for others, but I use Gedit - the default GNOME text editor with syntax highlight.
Earlier we planned to work on new outline first, but it looks like with 4 people around EN-FR user guides already waiting to get started or even contributing this will be a major show-stopper.
I have already splitted English user guide into several smaller files on one-chapter-per-file basis and I'll commit changes as soon as I get back home. I will do the same for French user guide later today or tomorrow. Then it will be easier to compare them and sync content, while restructuring is on planning stage.
As for comparison, if I were you, I would probably use either GVim or Kate: both can show two documents at the same time in different panes, IIRC.
