[Po4a-devel] asciidoc table support

[Anders Nawroth]

Hi!

Setting up a test case was the perfect way to find the bug in my setup :-)
So the patch actually works, yay!

I'll start migrating our existing translations to use po4a, and see if
I encounter any more issues.

Any advice on the size of .po files?
Would putting an entire documentation (let's say 250 A4 pages) in a
single file still be nice to work with?
Or could this be a case for splitting into one po file per chapter?
