</div>1. Ensuring the underlying source can yield HTML and PDF documents.<br>
<br>
2. Convert *all* XML to the new format and then convert *all* of the<br>
latter to HTML *and* PDF and make sure *everything* looks right.<br>
<br>
3. The toolchain needs to be understandable by mortals.<br>
<br>
(a) Will we lose "linkend" attributes? That is, the ability to do:<br>
<br>
<para><br>
If you are going to use LDAP to store Samba users you will need to<br>
configure the Samba<br>
server to authenticate using LDAP. See <xref linkend="samba-ldap"/> for<br>
details.<br>
</para><br>
<br>
I'm not sure how these kinds of source links will end up after<br>
converting from XML to markdown.<br>
<br>
(b) There may very well be other things we need to think about. I'm not<br>
an XML expert.<br>

</div>I don't see why not as long as i) we can achieve the same results in<br>
terms of an actual installation and ii) do not leave people scratching<br>
their heads. I'm alluding to the fact that performing manual steps is<br>
part of learning the software's architecture and, in turn, is invaluable<br>
in how to maintain/administer the installation. Since Juju replaces the<br>
manual steps the text would need to replace them with corresponding<br>
explanation.<br>
