   3 # usage: ldp_print <single_file.html>
   4 #
   5 # Creates a PDF variant of a single-file HTML representation of a
   6 # DocBook SGML (or XML) instance. This simple wrapper assumes that
   7 # the file was created using {open}jade in a manner similar to:
   8 #
   9 #       jade -t sgml -i html -V nochunks -d $style $fname > $fname.html
  10 #
  11 # Give this script the filename as an argument. It will then parse
  12 # the file into 'title.html' and 'body.html' and send each to
  13 # htmldoc (as the corresponding title page and body of the document).
  14 #
  15 #
  16 # CAVEATS:
  17 #
  18 # Assumes perl is in /usr/bin; adjust if necessary
  19 #
  20 # You may need to specify where the htmldoc executable resides.
  21 # The script assumes it's within your $PATH.
  22 #
  23 # If you want Postscript as an output variant, uncomment the
  24 # appropriate lines (see below).
  25 #
  26 # Relies on output from a DocBook instance created via DSSSL/{open}jade!
  27 #
  28 # Cleans up (removes) the intermediate files it creates (but not the
  29 # PDF or Postscript files, obviously!)
  30 #
  31 # Works silently; PDF (PostScript) will be created in the same directory
  32 # as was specified for the input (single-file HTML) file.
