22 What are DocBook documents doing in the Samba Distribution ?
23 -----------------------------------------------------------
25 We have converted all samba docs to XML/DocBook V4.2
26 in order to make them easier to maintain and produce a nicer looking
29 This short note (strange isn't it how it always starts out as a short note
30 and becomes a long one ?) will explain very briefly how and why we have
37 If you are new to xml, regard an xml file as 'source code'. You don't
38 read it directly, but use it to create other formats (like the txt and html
39 included in ../txtdocs and ../htmldocs).
41 Docbook is a particular XML style, particularly suited to producing
44 For more information on DocBook tags and format, see "DocBook: The
45 Definitive Guide" by Walsh and Muellner, (c) O'Reilly Publishing.
46 This book covers DocBook V4.2 and is available on-line
47 at http://www.docbook.org/
51 The current Samba Subversion tree contains the XML/DocBook source files.
53 A regularly generated version can be found at http://samba.org/samba/docs/.
58 To generate the docs, you need to have the following packages installed:
65 For generating PDF and PostScript (thru LaTeX):
66 * dblatex (from http://dblatex.sf.net/)
68 For generating PDF (thru FO):
69 * fop (http://xml.apache.org/fop/)
74 For generating Palm-viewable docs:
77 For generating texi files:
84 This directory now contains a ./configure script and Makefile to
85 support the automated building of man pages (including HTML versions), and
86 the building of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection and the
87 Samba Developers Guide (HTML,TeX,PDF,PS,Text versions).
89 The configure script detects which of the required utilities are installed
90 and builds as much docs as it can using these tools.
92 Help! Building the docs generates a lot of HTTP traffic...
93 ----------------------------------------------------------
95 To be able to build the docs without an internet connection (or faster with
96 a slow internet connection), you need to set up "catalogs".
98 For the Pearson DTD, add something like:
100 <public publicId="-//Pearson//DTD Books//DE" uri="file:///home/jelmer/Xml_dtd_1.1/pearson.dtd"/>
102 For the Samba DTD's, add something like:
103 <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD" rewritePrefix="file:///home/jelmer/samba-web/DTD"/>
105 catalog entries for the other DTD's and XSL scripts should be present on your
