Formatting

The documented formatting for lbxsfl is very limited as it stands. It is based upon basic wiki syntax and provides for the following:

• Paragraphs
  • <crlf>
  • line breaks \\
• Headings (1-6)
  1. !
  2. !!
  3. !!!
  4. !!!!
  5. !!!!!
  6. !!!!!!
• Emphasis
  • Italic /
  • Bold *
• Lists
  • UL <crlf> *
  • OL <crlf> #.
  • nested lists of both types are accomplished by equalized spacing before the tag
• tables | | |
• Horizontal lines ----<crlf>
• hyperlinks
  • (this is misleading and appears to work only internally with Libronix- a big limitation)
  • [[datatypereference|displayedtext]]
  • Refer to the documentation regarding the differences between parsed and unparsed references
• Segment
  • {{ }}
  • Language Uses the two or three letter language code after a colon the word follows.
  • {{:el γινωσκω}}

Overview

I am attempting to write an export filter for
OpenOffice.org which will export Libronix Sermon File's ready to be compiled from within Libronix. The Libronix sermon file format (*.lbxsfl) is just a basic XML file with some fairly simple rules. I have yet to determine whether or not the formatting represented in the help file represents the entirety of all of the formatting options. (Internal Libronix Link)

Sourceforge is providing the bug tracking and file serving for this project. You can link directly to it and related projects at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libronixtools/

If you are interested in helping with developing tools for Libronix to be released under GPL licensing and you wish to distribute them under the libronixtools sourceforge account let me know.

Backup your system. Chances are good that you might just brick it. In which case you're going to have a lot of work left over for you to turn it back into a functioning box.

Gentoo's portage is written entirely in bash and in python. The MBWE uses GNU bash, version 3.1.17 so we're ready there. However Python is not installed by default. Fortunately others have been able to install python without problems.

The dmesg output tells us what we need to know about the system.
