Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: DOCBOOK: Manpages in Linux
Hi Karif, I'm far from an expert, but perhaps this helps: On Thursday 25 April 2002 09:18 pm, you wrote: > > Problems: > > The docbook2man utility does not handle XML properly. Actually, the version I'm running claims not to support XML at all. However, I find that "docbook2pdf", for example, works fine with my XML docbooks. It emits a complaint about my <!DOCBOOK header, but then proceeds to generate a fine pdf file. YMMV, of course. > Some of the docbooks rules are not good for my purposes (pending). Not a clue what this means. > DocBook XML is poorly documented and it is hard to find samples. I feel your pain. Actually, I find that there's a plethora of stuff out there. Much of it, however, assumes I know more than I do. I keep feeling that Real Soon Now it'll all come together, but I'm not quit there yet. I live with Norm Walsh's book: "DocBook: The definitive guide" at my elbow. Per your problem, he gives docbook examples for documenting a command and a C method. RefEntry is your friend here, I think. > > I can't find an XML parser and Validator for Linux or Unix. Hmmm ... Did you ask Google about "validating xml parser"? I certainly get hits for that. I've used Xerces, but there are certainly others. Cheers, --Bob
