Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Enabling Backends

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Holger Rauch <Holger.Rauch@heitec.de> was heard to say:
| Do I have to enable the TeX, MIF, and RTF backends explictly in a
| customized version of the Modular DocBook Style Sheets or does passing "-V
| tex-backend", "-V mif-backend", or "-V rtf-backend" on to Jade/OpenJade do
| the same thing. Or do I need both (modification of the style sheets +
| command line switch)?

Using -t {rtf,sgml,tex,mif} selects the backend for Jade to use.
Using -V {tex,mif,rtf}-backend enables certain backend-specific features.
You can use the former without the latter, but not vice-versa.
(In other words, -t rtf -V tex-backend would be a really bad idea.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
