XML::RSS::Parser is a lightweight liberal parser of RSS feeds. This parser
is "liberal" in that it does not demand compliance of a specific RSS version
and will attempt to gracefully handle tags it does not expect or understand.
The parser's only requirements is that the file is well-formed XML and
remotely resembles RSS. Roughly speaking, well formed XML with a channel
element as a direct sibling or the root tag and item elements etc.
There are a number of advantages to using this module then just using
a standard parser-tree combination. There are a number of different RSS
formats in use today. In very subtle ways these formats are not entirely
compatible from one to another. XML::RSS::Parser makes a couple assumptions
to "normalize" the parse tree into a more consistent form. For instance,
it forces channel and item into a parent-child relationship.

the excellent Enchant spellchecker available as a Python module.
The bindings are generated using SWIG. It includes all the functionality
of Enchant with the flexibility of Python and a nice 'Pythonic'
object-oriented interface. It also aims to provide some higher-level
functionality than is available in the C API.

It provides a lexical scanner and LR parser (constructed by PCCTS),
both of which are efficient and offer good error detection and
recovery; a set of functions for traversing the AST (abstract
syntax tree) generated by the parser; and utility functions for
manipulating strings according to BibTeX conventions.

simplifies the process of writings documents and publishing them to
various output formats.
Muse consists of two main parts: an enhanced text-mode for authoring
documents and navigating within Muse projects, and a set of publishing
styles for generating different kinds of output.

xmldiff uses xmlprpr and diff to display meaningful differences in XML
files in an easy to read format. Output formats available include HTML,
ANSI colour, and regular diff. The coloured modes are particularly
useful for viewing small differences in context within large XML files.

An XML pretty printer created to format XML that doesn't make use of
mixed content. In the default mode each element is put on a separate
line with consistent indentation. It can also separate attributes onto
individual lines, sort attributes in a specified or alphabetic order,
expand self closing tags, and more.
Note that the distribution calls this tool "xmlpp", but it has been
renamed so as not to conflict with an xmlpp already in the ports tree.

The po4a (po for anything) project goal is to ease translations
(and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using
gettext tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.
This package contains the main libraries of po4a, and the following sub-modules:
- KernelHelp: Help messages of each kernel compilation option.
- Man: Good old manual page format.
- Pod: Perl documentation format.
- Sgml: either debiandoc or docbook DTD.
- Dia: uncompressed Dia diagrams.
- LaTeX: generic TeX or LaTeX format

Fakeroot runs a command in an environment were it appears to have
root privileges for file manipulation, by setting LD_PRELOAD to a
library with alternative versions of getuid(), stat(), etc. This
is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb .rpm
etc.) with files in them with root permissions/ownership. Without
fakeroot one would have to have root privileges to create the
constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and
ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct
the archives directly, without using the archiver.
