LFS Book Conversion Tools Installation Instructions After downloading the SVN source, there are some things that need to be set up on your computer if you want to convert the XML source into something easier to read (e.g. HTML, TXT, or PDF). If you are interested in this, then keep reading. If you are only interested in editing the XML source for re- submission to the lfs-book or lfs-dev mailing lists, then you do not need this document. Instead, you need to read the LFS Editor's Manual. See the LFS website at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to convert the XML to HTML, install the following: * libxml2 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libxml2.html * libxslt - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libxslt.html * DocBook DTD - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/xml.html * DocBook XSL Stylesheets - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/docbook-xsl.html * HTMLTidy - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/tidy-html5.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to convert the XML to TXT, install the above items, and then install the following: * lynx - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/lynx.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to convert the XML to PDF, install the items listed above (except lynx) and then install the following: * JDK - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/openjdk.html * FOP and JAI - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/fop.html
