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.
|
||||
|
||||
If all you want to do is being able to convert XML to HTML download the
|
||||
following:
|
||||
|
||||
OpenJade - http://openjade.sourceforge.net
|
||||
DocBook-XML DTD - http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.1.2/
|
||||
DSSSL DocBook Stylesheets - http://www.nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/
|
||||
|
||||
As the DocBook DTD and Stylesheets are made available as a zip achives you
|
||||
may need to download the unzip package as well if your Linux system doesn't
|
||||
have one:
|
||||
|
||||
Unzip - ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/src/
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
HTMLDOC - http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/
|
||||
FLTK (X front-end) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/fltk
|
||||
|
||||
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. There
|
||||
are most likely better programs to do this, but Lynx is often installed
|
||||
on systems anyways (as a console based web browser).
|
||||
|
||||
Lynx - http://lynx.browser.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You have everything you need now. Let's install this stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the /usr/share/docbook directory, cd into it and unpack the
|
||||
docbook-xml dtd archive there.
|
||||
|
||||
Create the /usr/share/dsssl directory, cd into it and unpack the dsssl
|
||||
stylesheet archive in there. 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 installed 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.cat:/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/catalog:/usr/share/dsssl/openjade/catalog
|
||||
|
||||
Followed by installing openjade 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-catalot=/usr/share/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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
FLTK (you can skip this one if you don't want the X front-end):
|
||||
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
HTMLDOC:
|
||||
Edit the Makefile.in file and find these lines:
|
||||
|
||||
install:
|
||||
$(MAKE) all
|
||||
for dir in $(INSTALLDIRS); do\
|
||||
echo Installing in $$dir...;\
|
||||
(cd $$dir; $(MAKE) -$(MAKEFLAGS) clean) || break;\
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
Change this into:
|
||||
|
||||
install:
|
||||
$(MAKE) all
|
||||
for dir in $(INSTALLDIRS); do\
|
||||
echo Installing in $$dir...;\
|
||||
(cd $$dir; $(MAKE) -$(MAKEFLAGS) install) || break;\
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
This will fix that little bug that causes 'make install' to be
|
||||
identical to 'make clean'. Now continue with:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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.

How do I convert these XML files to other formats like HTML, PDF, PS
|
||||
and TXT? You need to have some software installed that deal with these
|
||||
conversions. Please read the INSTALL file how to install that software.
|
||||
Then come back to this file for examples how to convert these files
|
||||
into various other formats.
|
||||
|
||||
XML to HTML:
|
||||
------------
|
||||
Create a directory in which you want to store the HTML files and cd into
|
||||
that directory. Now run:
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade -t sgml \
|
||||
-d /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html/lfs.dsl \
|
||||
/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/dtds/decls/xml.dcl \
|
||||
/path/to/intel.xml
|
||||
|
||||
While openjade is running you will see a lot of the following kind of
|
||||
errors:
|
||||
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade:/usr/share/docbook/ent/iso-lat1.ent:6:19:E: "X00E1"
|
||||
is not a function name
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade:/usr/share/docbook/ent/iso-lat1.ent:7:19:E: "X00C1"
|
||||
is not a function name
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade:/usr/share/docbook/ent/iso-lat1.ent:8:18:E: "X00E2"
|
||||
is not a function name
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade:/usr/share/docbook/ent/iso-lat1.ent:9:18:E: "X00C2"
|
||||
is not a function name
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade:/usr/share/docbook/ent/iso-lat1.ent:10:19:E: "X00E0"
|
||||
is not a function name
|
||||
|
||||
They are normal in the sense of that it doens't affect the output
|
||||
files. A fix hasn't been found yet so we'll just have to live with it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
XML to NOCHUNKS-HTML:
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
The NOCHUNKS HTML version is one big HTML file:
|
||||
/usr/bin/openjade -t xml \
|
||||
-V nochunks \
|
||||
-d /usr/share/dsssl/docbook/html/lfs.dsl \
|
||||
/usr/share/dsssl/docbook/dtds/decls/xml.dcl \
|
||||
/path/to/intel.xml > nochunks.html
|
||||
|
||||
XML to TXT:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
First create the NOCHUNKS HTML file, then convert by running:
|
||||
/usr/bin/lynx nochunks.html > output.txt
|
||||
|
||||
XML to PDF:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
First create the NOCHUNKS HTML file, then convert by starting
|
||||
/usr/bin/htmldoc. Personally I use the htmldoc GUI. It's easier to use
|
||||
than the slew of command line options you can use.
|
||||
|
||||
In the GUI, click on the "Add Files..." button on the Input tab and
|
||||
select the NOCHUNKS HTML file. Then click the "PDF" button on the
|
||||
Output tab and enter the output file name in the "Output Path" box.
|
||||
If you don't want to change other options, click on the "Generate"
|
||||
button and wait a few seconds.
|
||||
|
||||
XML to PS:

select the NOCHUNKS HTML file. Then click the "PS" button on the
|
||||
Output tab and enter the output file name in the "Output Path" box.
|
||||
If you don't want to change other options, click on the "Generate"
|

button and wait a few seconds.
