NAME

sgmltools - process sgml files.

SYNOPSIS

sgmltools [-b backend] [-d] [-v] [-V] [-h] [-l] [-s dsssl_spec] [-j jadeopt] [--backend={html,ps,dvi,rtf,txt,ld2db,jadetex}] [--debug] [--verbose] [--dsssl-spec=dsssl_spec] [--jade-opt=jadeopt] [--version] [--help] [--license]

DESCRIPTION

sgmltools is the central driver of SGMLtools. You can use it to convert SGML input files to various formats, as indicated by the --backend switch.

OPTIONS

-b, --backend
Select the backend to use. Currently, there are five different backends to choose from. ps expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into PostScript. dvi expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into DVI. rtf expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into RTF. html expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into HTML; the resulting files will be put in a subdirectory (default). txt expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into ASCII. ld2db expects a LinuxDoc-SGML file and will convert it into DocBook SGML. jadetex expects a DocBook SGML file and will convert it into JadeTeX input. Only use this if you know what you're doing.
-d, --debug
Enable debugging. All temporary files will be left as is and possibly extra information on the processing steps is printed to stderr.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose. Information on commands executed, etcetera, will be printed to stdout.
-s, --dsssl-spec
Specify the DSSSL stylesheet to apply (see STYLESHEETS, below).
-j, --jade-opt
Pass additional options directly to Jade.
-h, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully (tbd).
-V, --version
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully (tbd).
-l, --license
Print license information

STYLESHEETS

The DSSSL specification may be either a filename, a public identifier or a DSSSL alias (resolved via one of the alias files /etc/sgml/aliases and ~/.sgmlaliases to either a filename or a public identifier).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

TMPDIR
Temporary directory. If it is on a local filesystem, a lot of copying will be avoided. Furthermore, setting this will prevent SGMLtools from using /tmp and thus will prevent people trying to make use of race conditions.
SGML_CATALOG_FILES
The SGML Open catalog files to use for resolving public identifiers into system identifiers.

BUGS

This is an early developer release, so don't expect it to behave in any useful way. It won't make coffee or tea.
