[2fadfb6] | 1 | Ok, so you have downloaded the XML source. Now what? You are probably
|
---|
| 2 | wanting to convert these XML files to easier to read HTML, PS, PDF, txt
|
---|
| 3 | or other formatted files. All that can be read below.
|
---|
| 4 |
|
---|
| 5 | Let's start by downloading some software.
|
---|
| 6 |
|
---|
| 7 | If all you want to do is being able to convert XML to HTML download the
|
---|
| 8 | following:
|
---|
| 9 |
|
---|
| 10 | OpenJade - http://openjade.sourceforge.net
|
---|
| 11 | DocBook-XML DTD - http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.1.2/
|
---|
| 12 | DSSSL DocBook Stylesheets - http://www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/
|
---|
| 13 |
|
---|
| 14 | As the DocBook DTD and Stylesheets are made available as a zip achives you
|
---|
| 15 | may need to download the unzip package as well if your Linux system doesn't
|
---|
| 16 | have one:
|
---|
| 17 |
|
---|
| 18 | Unzip - ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/src/
|
---|
| 19 |
|
---|
| 20 | If you want to be able to convert the book into PS and PDF as well I
|
---|
| 21 | recommend using the Htmldoc program. This takes a html file (created
|
---|
| 22 | with openjade which you already downloaded) and converts it to PS or
|
---|
| 23 | PDF:
|
---|
| 24 |
|
---|
| 25 | HTMLDOC - http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/
|
---|
| 26 | FLTK (X front-end) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk
|
---|
| 27 |
|
---|
| 28 | If you want to be able to convert the book into TXT as well I recommend
|
---|
| 29 | using lynx to convert HTML to TXT using the -dump option to lynx. There
|
---|
| 30 | are most likely better programs to do this, but Lynx is often installed
|
---|
| 31 | on systems anyways (as a console based web browser).
|
---|
| 32 |
|
---|
| 33 | Lynx - http://lynx.browser.org
|
---|
| 34 |
|
---|
| 35 |
|
---|
| 36 | You have everything you need now. Let's install this stuff.
|
---|
| 37 |
|
---|
| 38 | Create the /usr/share/docbook directory, cd into it and unpack the
|
---|
| 39 | docbook-xml dtd archive there.
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
| 41 | Create the /usr/share/dsssl directory, cd into it and unpack the dsssl
|
---|
| 42 | stylesheet archive in there. Now copy the lfs.dsl file you will find in
|
---|
| 43 | the LFS-BOOK XML archive into /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html
|
---|
| 44 |
|
---|
| 45 | The last step is installed OpenJade.
|
---|
| 46 |
|
---|
| 47 | In order for openjade to be able to convert the DocBook based documents
|
---|
| 48 | into other formats, it needs to know where the DocBook DTD related
|
---|
| 49 | files are located. This is sort of the DocBook equivalent for the $PATH
|
---|
| 50 | variable. You have two ways of doing this:
|
---|
| 51 |
|
---|
| 52 | 1) You can set the $SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable and include the full
|
---|
| 53 | paths to the catalog files in it
|
---|
| 54 | or
|
---|
| 55 | 2) You can hard-code the paths into the openjade binary.
|
---|
| 56 |
|
---|
| 57 | If you choose option 1, add the following to your bash configuration
|
---|
| 58 | file, system wide profile or wherever you wish to include it:
|
---|
| 59 |
|
---|
| 60 | export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/docbook.cat:/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/catalog:/usr/share/dsssl/openjade/catalog
|
---|
| 61 |
|
---|
| 62 | Followed by installing openjade by running:
|
---|
| 63 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
---|
| 64 | make
|
---|
| 65 | make install
|
---|
| 66 | cp -av dsssl /usr/share/dsssl/openjade
|
---|
| 67 |
|
---|
| 68 | If you choose option 2, install OpenJade as follows:
|
---|
| 69 |
|
---|
| 70 | ./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
---|
[47b9c83] | 71 | > --enable-default-catalog=/usr/share/docbook.cat:/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/catalog:/usr/share/dsssl/openjade/catalog
|
---|
[2fadfb6] | 72 | make
|
---|
| 73 | make install
|
---|
| 74 | cp -av dsssl /usr/share/dsssl/openjade
|
---|
| 75 |
|
---|
| 76 | And you don't have to worry about the $SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable in
|
---|
| 77 | this case.
|
---|
| 78 |
|
---|
| 79 |
|
---|
| 80 | You're all set to convert XML to HTML (among a few other formats
|
---|
| 81 | supported by openjade) now. If you want to convert to PS and PDF as
|
---|
| 82 | well, install the following two packages.
|
---|
| 83 |
|
---|
| 84 | FLTK (you can skip this one if you don't want the X front-end):
|
---|
| 85 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
---|
| 86 | make
|
---|
| 87 | make install
|
---|
| 88 |
|
---|
| 89 | HTMLDOC:
|
---|
| 90 | Edit the Makefile.in file and find these lines:
|
---|
| 91 |
|
---|
| 92 | install:
|
---|
| 93 | $(MAKE) all
|
---|
| 94 | for dir in $(INSTALLDIRS); do\
|
---|
| 95 | echo Installing in $$dir...;\
|
---|
| 96 | (cd $$dir; $(MAKE) -$(MAKEFLAGS) clean) || break;\
|
---|
| 97 | done
|
---|
| 98 |
|
---|
| 99 | Change this into:
|
---|
| 100 |
|
---|
| 101 | install:
|
---|
| 102 | $(MAKE) all
|
---|
| 103 | for dir in $(INSTALLDIRS); do\
|
---|
| 104 | echo Installing in $$dir...;\
|
---|
| 105 | (cd $$dir; $(MAKE) -$(MAKEFLAGS) install) || break;\
|
---|
| 106 | done
|
---|
| 107 |
|
---|
| 108 | This will fix that little bug that causes 'make install' to be
|
---|
| 109 | identical to 'make clean'. Now continue with:
|
---|
| 110 |
|
---|
| 111 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
---|
| 112 | make
|
---|
| 113 | make install
|
---|
| 114 |
|
---|
| 115 |
|
---|
| 116 |
|
---|
| 117 | The last package is Lynx which will be used for the HTML to TXT
|
---|
| 118 | conversion. Install it by running:
|
---|
| 119 |
|
---|
| 120 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
---|
| 121 | make
|
---|
| 122 | make install
|
---|
| 123 |
|
---|
| 124 | There, all set now. Go back to the README file for some examples how to
|
---|
| 125 | convert this XML to the various other formats.
