README

LFS Book README

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

In all examples, setting the parameter REV=systemd is needed to build the
systemd version of the book.

XML to XHTML:
-------------
make BASEDIR=/path/to/output/location


XML to single file XHTML (nochunks):

make BASEDIR=/path/to/output/location nochunks

XML to TXT
----------
Follow the instructions for nochunks and then run:
lynx -dump /path/to/nochunks >/path/to/output
