<title>Introduction to <application>DocBook-utils</application></title>

<para>The <application>DocBook-utils</application> package is a collection of 
utility scripts used to convert and analyze <acronym>SGML</acronym> documents 
in general, and DocBook files in particular. The scripts are used to convert 
from DocBook or other <acronym>SGML</acronym> formats into 
<quote>classical</quote> file formats like <acronym>HTML</acronym>, man, info, 
<acronym>RTF</acronym> and many more. There's also a utility to compare two 
<acronym>SGML</acronym> files and only display the differences in markup. This 
is useful for comparing documents prepared for different languages.</para>

<title>Installation of <application>DocBook-utils</application></title>

<note><para>Earlier versions of the <acronym>BLFS</acronym>
<application>OpenSP</application> instructions installed a catalog
containing an SGMLDECL <filename>unicode.sd</filename> declaration
into the system <acronym>SGML</acronym> catalogs. This declaration
causes some of the <application>OpenJade</application> programs to
fail occasionally. You'll need to remove these catalog definitions
if they exist, or the package build will fail. The following command
can determine if you need to remove these catalog definitions:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>grep "OpenSP-1.5.1" /etc/sgml/catalog</command></userinput></screen>

<para>If anything was returned, run the following command as the root user to 
remove the catalog definitions:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>sed -i.orig \
    -e "/CATALOG \/etc\/sgml\/OpenSP-1.5.1.cat/d" \
    /etc/sgml/catalog \
    /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat</command></userinput></screen></note>

<para>Install <application>DocBook-utils</application> by running the 
following commands:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Now, as the root user:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>make install</command></userinput></screen>

<para>Many packages use an alternate name for the 
<application>DocBook-utils</application> scripts. If you wish to create these 
alternate names, use the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput role='root'><command>for doctype in html ps dvi man pdf rtf tex texi txt
do
    ln -s docbook2$doctype /usr/bin/db2$doctype
done</command></userinput></screen>
