|
|---|
| 13 | computer hardware and software.</p><p>xsltproc and libxslt are not specifically dependant on DocBook, but since
|
|---|
| 14 | a lot of people use xsltproc and libxml2 for DocBook formatting, here are a
|
|---|
| 15 | few pointers and information which may be helpful:</p><ul><li>The <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook/">DocBook
|
|---|
| 16 | homepage at Oasis</a> you should find pointers there on all the lastest
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 24 | <li>Here is a <a href="/buildDocBookCatalog">shell script</a> to generate
|
|---|
| 25 | XML Catalogs for DocBook 4.1.2 . If it can write to the /etc/xml/
|
|---|
| 26 | directory, it will set-up /etc/xml/catalog and /etc/xml/docbook based on
|
|---|
| 27 | the resources found on the system. Otherwise it will just create
|
|---|
| 28 | ~/xmlcatalog and ~/dbkxmlcatalog and doing:
|
|---|
| 29 | <p><code>export XMLCATALOG=$HOME/xmlcatalog</code></p>
|
|---|
| 30 | <p>should allow to process DocBook documentations without requiring
|

| 57 | <p><code>xmllint --valid --noout path_to_document</code></p>
|
|---|
| 58 | <p>to make sure that your input is valid DocBook. And fixes the errors
|
|---|
| 59 | before processing further. Note that XSLT processing may work correctly
|
|---|
| 60 | with some forms of validity errors left, but in general it can give
|

| 61 | troubles on output.</p>
