nroff

42.

The good old manual pages' format, used by so much programs out there. The po4a support is very welcome here since this format is somewhat difficult to use and not really friendly to the newbies. The L<Locale::Po4a::Man(3pm)|Man> module also supports the mdoc format, used by the BSD man pages (they are also quite common on Linux).

pod

44.

This is the Perl Online Documentation format. The language and extensions themselves are documented that way, as well as most of the existing Perl scripts. It makes easy to keep the documentation close to the actual code by embedding them both in the same file. It makes programmer life easier, but unfortunately, not the translator one.

sgml

46.

Even if somewhat superseded by XML nowadays, this format is still used rather often for documents which are more than a few screens long. It allows you to make complete books. Updating the translation of so long documents can reveal to be a real nightmare. diff reveals often useless when the original text was re-indented after update. Fortunately, po4a can help you in that process.

Currently, only the debiandoc and docbook DTD are supported, but adding support to a new one is really easy. It is even possible to use po4a on an unknown sgml dtd without changing the code by providing the needed information on the command line. See L<Locale::Po4a::Sgml(3pm)> for details.

TeX / LaTeX

49.

The LaTeX format is a major documentation format used in the Free Software world and for publications. The L<Locale::Po4a::LaTeX(3pm)|LaTeX> module was tested with the Python documentation, a book and some presentations.
