[help-texinfo] Country code and encoding in Docbook output: solution

Hello,

I did some tests about the encoding missing in the French XML manual,
and the language code not being copied into. Here's my conclusion:

The following commands:
@documentlanguage (country code)
@documentencoding (encoding)
have to be located on a line below @setfilename xyz

For example:
@setfilename cinelerra_cv_manual_fr.info
@documentencoding ISO-8859-15
@documentlanguage fr

And then, everything's properly set in the XML output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-15"?>
...
<book id="book-root" lang="fr">

So, if you want to produce a Docbook file from a texinfo file whose
language and encoding isn't English and US-ASCII, don't forget to use
those 2 commands and put them just below the @setfilename command.  The
place where they should be isn't explained in the texinfo manual.

Nicolas Maufrais.
