Description Stephen Noble 2008-02-05 08:53:58 UTC 
We wish to convert our xml data to .po to use on pootle.
It works well except for tags with CDATA

xml2po -m empty -e -o workgroup.po workgroup

Kind Regards
Stephen

Should work with the partial xml2po rewrite waiting on #597216.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2020-03-03 18:36:20 UTC 
gnome-doc-utils has been superseded by yelp-xsl, yelp-tools, and itstool.

gnome-doc-utils will not see any further development, hence closing as WONTFIX.
