| 1 | Handling the rsync SGML documentation |
| 2 | |
| 3 | rsync documentation is now primarily in Docbook format. Docbook is an |
| 4 | SGML/XML documentation format that is becoming standard on free |
| 5 | operating systems. It's also used for Samba documentation. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The SGML files are source code that can be translated into various |
| 8 | useful output formats, primarily PDF, HTML, Postscript and plain text. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | To do this transformation on Debian, you should install the |
| 11 | docbook-utils package. Having done that, you can say |
| 12 | |
| 13 | docbook2pdf rsync.sgml |
| 14 | |
| 15 | and so on. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | On other systems you probably need James Clark's "sp" and "JadeTeX" |
| 18 | packages. Work it out for yourself and send a note to the mailing |
| 19 | list. |
