Hi Pranav,
Thanks for trying this out. To answer your question, let's make sure you
know how the install guides work. They are sourced to create four guides
with conditionals for each operating system such as  os="ubuntu;debian"
as an attribute on any element you want to only be output with those two
guides, Ubuntu and Debian.

Translators can still translate those elements, of course, and it saves us
time and effort.

But then the training guides will still have to be output with conditional
builds.

I was thinking about the problem you're seeing with the references to the
"plain" URL on the git.openstack.org site for png files, such as
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/openstack-manuals/plain/doc/user-guide-admin/figures/cloud_dash_users_list.png
and I think the root cause of the problem is when the reference to the
figure is conditional.

Conditional means that it's output only when the maven plugin calls for it,
such as building just the SUSE install or just the Debian install guide. So
when you're doing xi:include of only Ubuntu, but the build is still somehow
picking up the debian conditionals for example, then the build might fail.

So that's what I'd say to be aware of that's special for the install guide
for now.

There's also Shaun's work on the toolchain to support ITS markup so that
translators know which elements not to translate (like userinput, screen,
prompt, etc.) but we are not doing that markup currently.

Thanks,
Anne
