debiandoc2dbxml(1) Utility to translate debiandoc-sgml files into docbookxml files

SYNOPSIS

debiandoc2dbxml [ -hvabsSk ] [ -l locale string ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION

debiandoc2dbxml will take a debiandoc-sgml file and convert it into a docbook xml file. The root element can be "book" or "article". The version of docbookx.dtd is 4.0.

Before using debiandoc2dbxml, you should run debiandoc-tidy in order to "normalize" your sgml file.

OPTIONS

-h
Print a help message.
-v
Print the version number.
-a
Choose the root element "article".
-b
Choose the root element "book".
-s
Indicate that there is a subset of the dtd in the prolog of the sgml file.
-S
Choose to split the result in many files. The script creates "main.xml" and xml files from each bookinfo, chapter and appendix. This option should be used with the -l option.
-l
A string that indicates where you want to put the xml files when the -S option has been chosen. The "main.xml" goes to path/to/ and the xml files go to path/to/string/.
-k
The script creates two files "sgml.error" and "xml.error" which you can read when this option has been set.
