Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Po4a extracts the translatable material from its input in a PO file. When the PO file is translated, it re-injects the translation in the structure of the document, and generates the translated document. If a string is not translated (i.e. it was not translated or it is "fuzzy" because the original document was updated), the original string is used. This permits to provide always up-to-date documentation. po4a supports currently the following formats: * manpages * POD * XML (generic, DocBook, XHTML, Dia, Guide, or WML) * SGML * TeX (generic, LaTeX, BibTex or Texinfo) * text (simple text files with some formatting, markdown, rubydoc or AsciiDoc) * INI * YAML * KernelHelp
