| 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 && \
|
|---|
| 36 | make && make install`
|
|---|
| 37 |
|

| 38 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 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.
