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, PS 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 all you want to do is convert XML to HTML perform 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.html

If you want to be able to convert the book into PDF as well, then you will need
the FOP package.  This takes an XSL-FO file (created with libxslt which you
already installed) and converts it to PDF.  FOP is dependant on the Java 
Advanced Imaging (JAI) API to render SVG graphics. Instructions to install the 
JAI are included in the FOP instructions. Perform the following:

* J2SDK
  - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/j2sdk.html

* FOP
  - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/fop.html
