We are near to translate all the documentation of POV-Ray. My biggest
dude is There is a standard format to write the documentation? we'd like
to incorporate the documentation toevery platform where POV is, and we
don't want re-write it every time.
Someone can help me?
May be someone can tell me how the documentation is constructed, or
where can I read it.
Thanks

Not HTML. You should write it in XML. What you describe is exactly the king
of thing XML was designed to handle.
Once you have good XML markup, then it's fairly easy to get it 'published'
into whatever format you need. At one talk I attended, the presentation was
HTML slides and RTF & Postscript printout to go along with it, both
automatically generated from the same XML source. He just applied a different
DSSL stylesheet. And if you 'publish' to the proper flavor of RTF you can get
the output you need for building Windows help files, etc.
In practice, as you go along you might need to convert your XML markup from
one form to another (depending on which tools, if any, are to be used), but
as long as all the needed logical information was included to begin with,
automatically converting from one 'flavor' of XML to another is easy.
XML is also Unicode (a big win for the non-English versions).

I would suggest HTML 1.0 or PDF

Can you tell me where can I find more information about XML? I'm very int
erested.

Well, one starting place is the World Wide Web Consortium
http://www.w3.org/
http://www.w3.org/XML/
If you want to do some coding in Java, I'd suggest getting IBM's XML parser from
alphaWorks http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/
James Clark has some good stuff
http://www.jclark.com/xml/
Just beware of any XML tools/stuff that Microsoft is putting out.
Oh, and here's the HTML version of that presentation I mentioned. It's by Jon Bosak.
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/iuc/iuc13/k2/sld00000.htm
It includes details about how it was made:
