How do I convert these XML files to other formats like HTML, PDF, 
and TXT? You need to have some software installed that deal with these
conversions. Please read the INSTALL file to determine what programs 
you need to install and where to get instructions to install that software.
Then come back to this file for examples how to convert these files
into various other formats.

These instructions are also incorporated in the Makefile.

XML to HTML:
------------
Create a directory in which you want to store the HTML files: ~/blfs-html
Change to the top of the directory where the xml code is located.
Now run:
  BASEDIR="~/blfs-html"
  xsltproc --xinclude --nonet -stringparam base.dir $(BASEDIR) \
     stylesheets/blfs-chunked.xsl index.xml
  mkdir -p $(BASEDIR)stylesheets $(BASEDIR)images
  cp stylesheets/*.css $(BASEDIR)stylesheets
  cp images/*.png $(BASEDIR)/images
  sed -i -e "s@../stylesheets@stylesheets@g" $(BASEDIR)/*.html
  sed -i -e "s@../images@images@g" $(BASEDIR)/*.html
  sh goTidy $(BASEDIR)/


XML to NOCHUNKS-HTML:
--------------------
The NOCHUNKS HTML version is one big HTML file:
  xsltproc --xinclude --nonet -stringparam profile.condition html \
     --output $(BASEDIR)/BLFS-BOOK.html stylesheets/blfs-nochunks.xsl index.xml
  tidy -config tidy.conf $(BASEDIR)/BLFS-BOOK.html
  sed -i -e "s@text/html@application/xhtml+xml@g" $(BASEDIR)/BLFS-BOOK.html

XML to TXT:
-----------
First create the NOCHUNKS HTML file, then convert by running:
        /usr/bin/lynx -dump nochunks.html > output.txt

XML to PDF:
------------------
xsltproc --xinclude --nonet --output blfs.fo stylesheets/blfs-pdf.xsl index.xml
sed -i -e "s/inherit/all/" blfs.fo
fop.sh blfs.fo blfs.pdf
mkdir -p  $(BASEDIR)/pdf
rm blfs.fo
mv blfs.pdf $(BASEDIR)/pdf
