-Ok, so you have downloaded the XML source. Now what? You are probably
|
|
|
-wanting to convert these XML files to easier to read HTML, PS, PDF, TXT
|
|
|
-or other formatted files. All that can be read below.

|
-Let's start by downloading some software.
|
|
|
+After downloading the CVS source, there are some things that need to be setup
|
|
|
+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://linuxfromscratch.org for more information.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+If all you want to do is convert XML to HTML perform the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-OpenJade - http://openjade.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
-DocBook-XML DTD - http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.1.2/
|
|
|
-Modified DocBook Entities -
|
|
|
- http://linuxfromscratch.org/~gerard/docbook-4.1.2-newent.tar.bz2
|
|
|
-DSSSL DocBook Stylesheets - http://www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/
|
|
|
+First, let's handle some dependancies:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-As the DocBook DTD and Stylesheets are made available as zip archives you
|
|
|
-may need to download the unzip package as well if your Linux system doesn't
|
|
|
-have one:
|
|
|
+* Unzip
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/unzip.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Unzip - ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/src/
|
|
|
+* SGML Common
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/sgml-common.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
-If you want to be able to convert the book into PS and PDF as well I
|
|
|
-recommend using the Htmldoc program. This takes a html file (created
|
|
|
-with openjade which you already downloaded) and converts it to PS or
|
|
|
-PDF:
|
|
|
+* libxml2
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxml2.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
-HTMLDOC - http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/
|
|
|
-FLTK (X front-end) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk
|
|
|
+Now install the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-If you want to be able to convert the book into TXT as well I recommend
|
|
|
-using lynx to convert HTML to TXT using the -dump option to lynx.
|
|
|
+* DocBook DTD
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/DocBook.html
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* DSSSL DocBook Stylesheets
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/docbook-dsssl.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Lynx - http://lynx.browser.org
|
|
|
+* OpenSP
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/opensp.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
+* OpenJade
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
-You have everything you need now. Let's install this stuff.
|
|
|
+Once you have followed the installation instructions for all these packages
|
|
|
+from the BLFS Book, then you have a basic DocBook setup. Below are some
|
|
|
+alternate packages that you can use to convert to other formats.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Create the /usr/share/docbook directory, cd into it and unpack the
|
|
|
-docbook-xml dtd archive there. Move all the files and directories from
|
|
|
-the newly created subdirectory to the current directory
|
|
|
-(/usr/share/docbook). We don't really need a
|
|
|
-/usr/share/docbook/docbook-<version> subdir for our purposes.
|
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+If you want to be able to convert the book into PS and PDF as well, then you
|
|
|
+will need the Htmldoc package. This takes a HTML file (created with openjade
|
|
|
+which you already installed) and converts it to PS or PDF:
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Remove the ent directory and unpack the docbook-4.1.2-newent.tar.bz2 file.
|
|
|
-This will create a new ent directory with entity files that work better
|
|
|
-with XML.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Create the /usr/share/dsssl directory, cd into it and unpack the dsssl
|
|
|
-stylesheet archive in there. Rename the directory that's created by tar
|
|
|
-into 'docbook'. Now copy the lfs.dsl file you will find in
|
|
|
-the LFS-BOOK XML archive into /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The last step is installing OpenJade.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In order for openjade to be able to convert the DocBook based documents
|
|
|
-into other formats, it needs to know where the DocBook DTD related
|
|
|
-files are located. This is sort of the DocBook equivalent for the $PATH
|
|
|
-variable. You have two ways of doing this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-1) You can set the $SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable and include the full
|
|
|
-paths to the catalog files in it
|
|
|
- or
|
|
|
-2) You can hard-code the paths into the openjade binary.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you choose option 1, add the following to your bash configuration
|
|
|
-file, system wide profile or wherever you wish to include it:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/usr/share/docbook/docbook.cat:/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/catalog:/usr/share/dsssl/openjade/catalog
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Followed by installing openjade by running:
|
|
|
+ - http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Install HTMLDOC by running:
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
- cp -av dsssl /usr/share/dsssl/openjade
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you choose option 2, install OpenJade as follows:
|
|
|
- ./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
|
- > --enable-default-catalog=/usr/share/docbook/docbook.cat:/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/catalog:/usr/share/dsssl/openjade/catalog
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
- make install
|
|
|
- cp -av dsssl /usr/share/dsssl/openjade
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-And you don't have to worry about the $SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable in
|
|
|
-this case.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+An excellent X front-end for HTMLDOC is FLTK. If you will be doing rendering
|
|
|
+in X, then you will probably want this package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-You're all set to convert XML to HTML (among a few other formats
|
|
|
-supported by openjade) now. If you want to convert to PS and PDF as
|
|
|
-well, install the following two packages.
|
|
|
+ - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk
|
|
|
|
|
|
-FLTK (you can skip this one if you don't want the X front-end):
|
|
|
+ Install FLTK bt running:
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Install HTMLDOC by running:
|
|
|
- ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
- make install
|
|
|
+If you want to be able to convert the book into TXT as well, then you need the
|
|
|
+lynx browser. Conversion is handled via the -dump option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/basicnet/lynx.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
-The last package is Lynx which will be used for the HTML to TXT
|
|
|
-conversion. Install it by running:
|
|
|
- ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
- make install
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-There, all set now. Go back to the README file for some examples how to
|
|
|
-convert this XML to the various other formats.
|
|
|
+You are finished installing everything. Read the README file for some examples
|
|
|
+how to convert this XML to the various other formats.
