Re: gnome-devel-docs on developer.gnome.org

Hello

Daniel: Sorry for the late reply.  gtxml presently assumes that
strings "by default" should be valid xml, which was not the case in
previous revisions.  This probably explains the difference.  Back in
the days I don't think there were translator_credits strings in the
docs, so this change could be made without getting into trouble -
something which clearly isn't the case anymore.  It's a simple matter
to recognize the translator credits strings though.

So in general: gtxml is not only meant for the GNOME docs, it's
supposed to be a bit more generalist.  An option or mode could be
written (without much trouble at all) specifically for GNOME docs to
weed out known false positives.  If a powerful being confirms that a
gtxml check is desired for the GNOME docs (and by powerful I mean
someone who has the rights/expertise/etc. to get things to run on the
server) then I will be glad to write a special mode.

Regarding the placeholders: I don't know how to completely generally
recognize a placeholder tag.  I.e. whether, upon seeing a tag, it has
to exist in the translation as well or not.  For a placeholder the
answer is yes.  For another tag the answer is typically no.

Best regards
