Hi there, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I tried to convert our ebuild man pages to Linux Doc style first, but I |
| 4 |
found that it misses too much of the |
| 5 |
docbook stuff and is only usefull for small howto's. |
| 6 |
So I decided to use sgml-docbook-dtd-4.1 for my tests. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
There are three new files in gentoo-doc/files. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
ebuild.sgml The Book |
| 11 |
refentry/ebuild-1.sgml The ebuild(1) man page sgmlized |
| 12 |
refentry/ebuild-5.sgml The ebuild(5) man page |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you have a working docbook environment you can make html, pdf and man |
| 15 |
output from that (texi makes problems , others should work). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you run "docbook2man ebuild.sgml" you will get the two man pages |
| 18 |
ebuild.1 and ebuild.2 without the other |
| 19 |
book stuff. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you run "docbook2html ebuild.sgml" you will get a bunch of html pages |
| 22 |
index.html contains the TOC. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Give "docbook2pdf ebuild.sgml" a try and open ebuild.pdf with acroread. |
| 25 |
You will see that you have a nice toc |
| 26 |
in there too. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Assuming you have updated kdelibs to the version that installs docbook |
| 29 |
stuff in /usr/share/sgml, you can |
| 30 |
even run "kdb2html ebuild.sgml". |
| 31 |
The result will be a dir called HTML with a bunch of html's, that fit |
| 32 |
perfectly into kde's documentation. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Please guys give this stuff a try and me feedback. ! |
