| 3 | This document is meant to instruct the user on how to convert the book's XML
|
|---|
| 4 | source to other formats (e.g. HTML, PDF, PS and TXT). First, if you have not
|
|---|
| 5 | already done so, please read the INSTALL file how to install the required
|
|---|
| 6 | software. If you have already completed the steps outlined in the INSTALL
|
|---|
| 7 | file, then continue reading for examples how to convert these files into
|
|---|
| 8 | various other formats.
|

| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | XML to HTML:
|
|---|
| 11 | ------------
|
|---|
| 12 | Create a directory in which you want to store the HTML files and cd into
|
|---|
| 13 | that directory. Now run:
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | mkdir -p chapter0{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} preface appendix{a,b} &&
|
|---|
| 16 | /usr/bin/openjade -t xml \
|
|---|
| 17 | -d /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html/lfs.dsl \
|
|---|
| 18 | /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/dtds/decls/xml.dcl \
|
|---|
| 19 | /path/to/index.xml
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | XML to NOCHUNKS-HTML:
|
|---|
| 24 | --------------------
|
|---|
| 25 | The NOCHUNKS HTML version is one big HTML file:
|
|---|
| 26 | /usr/bin/openjade -t sgml \
|
|---|
| 27 | -V nochunks \
|
|---|
| 28 | -d /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html/lfs.dsl \
|
|---|
| 29 | /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/dtds/decls/xml.dcl \
|
|---|
| 30 | /path/to/index.xml > nochunks.html
|
|---|
| 31 |
|
|---|
| 32 | XML to TXT:
|
|---|
| 33 | -----------
|
|---|
| 34 | First create the NOCHUNKS HTML file, then convert by running:
|
|---|
| 35 | /usr/bin/lynx -dump nochunks.html > output.txt
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | XML to PS and PDF:
|
|---|
| 38 | ------------------
|
|---|
| 39 | First create the NOCHUNKS HTML file, then convert by starting
|
|---|
| 40 | htmldoc. You can use the GUI and select the options. If you're
|
|---|
| 41 | satisfied with the default options you can run this command:
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | /usr/bin/htmldoc --book --firstpage p1 -v -t <type> \
|
|---|
| 44 | -f <output> nochunks.html
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | replace <type> by pdf13 to create a pdf file or replace <type> by ps3 to
|
|---|
| 47 | create a ps file. There are other pdf and ps levels, see the man page for
|
|---|
| 48 | possible other options. Replace <output> with the filename of the ps or
|
|---|
| 49 | pdf file that is to be generated.
