| 3 | After downloading the CVS source, there are some things that need to be setup
|
|---|
| 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://linuxfromscratch.org for more information.

| 12 | If all you want to do is convert XML to HTML perform the following:
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | First, let's handle some dependancies:
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | * Unzip
|
|---|
| 17 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/unzip.html
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | * SGML Common
|
|---|
| 20 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/sgml-common.html
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | * libxml2
|
|---|
| 23 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxml2.html
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | Now install the following:
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | * DocBook DTD
|
|---|
| 28 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/DocBook.html
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | * DSSSL DocBook Stylesheets
|
|---|
| 31 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/docbook-dsssl.html
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | * OpenSP
|
|---|
| 34 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/opensp.html
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | * OpenJade
|
|---|
| 37 | - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/openjade.html
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | Once you have followed the installation instructions for all these packages
|
|---|
| 40 | from the BLFS Book, then you have a basic DocBook setup. Below are some
|
|---|
| 41 | alternate packages that you can use to convert to other formats.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 44 | If you want to be able to convert the book into PS and PDF as well, then you
|
|---|
| 45 | will need the Htmldoc package. This takes a HTML file (created with openjade
|
|---|
| 46 | which you already installed) and converts it to PS or PDF:
|
|---|

|
|---|

|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Install HTMLDOC by running:
|
|---|
| 51 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|---|
| 52 | make
|
|---|
| 53 | make install
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | An excellent X front-end for HTMLDOC is FLTK. If you will be doing rendering
|
|---|
| 56 | in X, then you will probably want this package.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | Install FLTK bt running:
|
|---|
| 61 | ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|---|
| 62 | make
|
|---|
| 63 | make install
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | If you want to be able to convert the book into TXT as well, then you need the
|
|---|
| 66 | lynx browser. Conversion is handled via the -dump option.

|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | You are finished installing everything. Read the README file for some examples
|
|---|
| 71 | how to convert this XML to the various other formats.
