[haiku] Localizing BePDF documentation

Hello everyone!

First off, BePDF is a separate project from Haiku. So, no speculation if this 
approach to
create a PDF is a template for Haiku's documentation, please... it's not.  :)
Haiku is just concerned as far as BePDF is an optional package.


I've been converting the BePDF documentation from PDF to a HTML version from 
which a PDF
is generated with htmldoc. Michael Pfeiffer did all the scripting and building
infrastructure. This is necessary, because we need a header with navigation for 
HTML which
is not present in the PDF, of course.

If you're interested, get BePDF via cvs:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/bepdf co -P 
BePDF

Under BePDF/bepdf/docs/ you'll find the folders html, images, templates 
containing the raw
materials which are assembled with the script make.sh. After running make.sh, 
the
completed HTML, PDF and website-index is found in BePDF/builds/docs/.

The new webdesign is also online now: http://bepdf.sourceforge.net/
As you can see, I shamelessly stole from the Haiku User Guide 
stylesheet/navigation. :)


BePDF would now be ready for more translations.
The existing Spanish translation is a bit older than the English version. When 
migrating
it to HTML, I did my best to simply copy and paste the paragraphs. Not speaking 
Spanish, I
left the updated stuff in English.

I'd be very grateful, if there was somebody, who could look over the Spanish 
version and
fill in the few English gaps. When that's done, Haiku's Optional Package can be updated. Please mail me privately if you're interested. 
Likewise, if there are people who want to localise to other languages.
With all this documentation business and my constant nagging, I think I've tired Michael Pfeiffer beyond recovery. :) 
He asks if there's a developer interested in taking over maintenance of BePDF 
while he
turns to other projects.

Regards,
Humdinger
