version 0.1100
# To render input.xml file into XHTML docmake --ns -o output.xhtml xhtml input.xml # Same with more verbose output docmake -v ---ns o output.xhtml xhtml input.xml # Avoid trailing slash when emitting to a dummy file in a dir docmake ---ns -trailing-slash=0 -o output/notneeded.xhtml xhtml5 input.xml # Render into pdf docmake -v --ns -o output.pdf pdf input.xml # Same while not rebuilding if not necessary docmake -v --ns --make -o output.pdf pdf input.xml # Render using a Stylesheet docmake -v --ns -o output.xhtml -x my-stylesheets.xsl xhtml input.xml
docmake is a tool to render DocBook/XML into its resultant formats using XSLT: XHTML, XSL-FO, PDF, RTF, etc. For a brief help type docmake help .
docmake help
It aims to be a replacement for xmlto - http://cyberelk.net/tim/software/xmlto/ . As opposed to xmlto, it is written in Perl, which is easier to get right than xmlto's Bash, and xmlto hasn't been updated for a long time when I started work on docmake.
The basic invocation of docmake is:
docmake [flags] MODE input.xml
The available modes are:
help
To get help.
fo
Convert to XSL-FO.
rtf
Convert to Word/RTF.
xhtml
Convert to XHTML.
pdf
Convert to PDF.
The available flags are:
-h ; --help
Display some rudimentary help.
--man
Display the man page.
-v ; --verbose
Verbose - output the commands' invocation as they are executed.
--ns
Use the DocBook xsl-ns ( namespaces ) URLs.
-o OUTPUT_PATH
Put the result in OUTPUT_PATH .
-x STYLESHEET ; --stylesheet STYLESHEET
Use the XSLT stylesheet STYLESHEET for performing XSLT transformations.
--basepath PATH
This is the base path for the DocBook stylesheets. The appropriate XSLT mode will be appended to it. This is for example, useful for building DocBook 5 documents by specifying the path to their stylesheets.
--stringparam KEY=VALUE
Specify the string parameter of KEY as VALUE. Note that as opposed to xsltproc, KEY and VALUE cannot be specified as different command line arguments, but rather should be on the same one, delimited by an equal sign ("=").
=
--trailing-slash=0
Disable adding a trailing slash when building into an HTML file, to emit an unneeded file there. Note the =0 argument.
=0
--make
Behave like make in building files only if their dependencies are newer.
There are some examples for sample invocation in the Synopsis.
