3 | After downloading the CVS source, there are some things that need to be set up
|
---|
4 | on your computer if you want to convert the XML source into something easier to
|
---|
5 | read (e.g. HTML, TXT, PS or PDF). If you are interested in this, then keep
|
---|
6 | reading. If you are only interested in editing the XML source for re-
|
---|
7 | submission to the lfs-book or lfs-dev mailing lists, then you do not need this
|
---|
8 | document. Instead, you need to read the LFS Editor's Manual. See the LFS
|
---|
9 | website at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org for more information.

12 | If all you want to do is convert XML to HTML perform the following:
|
---|
13 |
|
---|
14 | * libxml2
|
---|
15 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxml2.html
|
---|
16 |
|
---|
17 | * libxslt
|
---|
18 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxslt.html
|
---|
19 |
|
---|
20 | * DocBook DTD
|
---|
21 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/xml.html
|
---|
22 |
|
---|
23 | * DocBook XSL Stylesheets
|
---|
24 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/docbook-xsl.html
|
---|
25 | - additionally create a link from
|
---|
26 | /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.65.1 to
|
---|
27 | /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-current
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | cd /usr/share/xml/docbook/ &&
|
---|
30 | ln -s xsl-stylesheets-1.65.1 xsl-stylesheets-current
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | * HTMLTidy
|
---|
33 | - http://tidy.sourceforge.net/
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | Installation of HTMLTidy is a simple `./configure --prefix=/usr && \
|

|
---|
39 | If you want to be able to convert the book into PDF as well, then you will need
|
---|
40 | the FOP package. This takes an XSL-FO file (created with libxslt which you
|
---|
41 | already installed) and converts it to PDF:
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | - http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | Install FOP by running:
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | cd /opt &&
|
---|
48 | tar -xzvf /usr/src/fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz &&
|
---|
49 | mv fop-0.20.5 fop
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | Now set JAVA_HOME, FOP_HOME and PATH to values appropriate to your system.
