The script xmlproc.sh takes an xml file as input,
and processes it to create .pdf, .html or .ps output.
It uses format.pl, a perl script to format <pre> blocks nicely,
and add CDATA tags so writers do not have to use eg. &lt;
The file "entities.xml" must be edited to reflect current
version, year, etc.
Usage:
xmlproc.sh -v manual.xml
Validates an xml file to ensure no dtd-compliance errors
xmlproc.sh -html manual.xml
Output: manual.html
xmlproc.sh -pdf manual.xml
Output: manual.pdf
xmlproc.sh -ps manual.xml
Output: manual.ps
Notum bene:
- pdfxmltex barfs if given a filename with an underscore in it
- xmltex won't work yet - there's a bug in passivetex
which we are all waiting for Sebastian to fix.
So we are going the xml -> pdf -> ps route for the time being,
using pdfxmltex.
