caspar-typesetting

NAME

caspar-typesetting - Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks

SYNOPSIS

In a Makefile, do

  include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

or

  include caspar/mk/pod.mk

.

DESCRIPTION

The caspar docbook.mk and pod.mk files are Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks, like typesetting LaTeX (see [3]), DocBook XML, DocBook SGML (see [2]) and POD (see [1]) documents. You just have to type make, instead of stuff like jade -t tex -d caspar/print.dsl /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl foobar.dbx.

USAGE

In a directory where you maintain .dbx (Docbook XML) or .tex (LaTeX) files, do

   $ echo include caspar/mk/docbook.mk > Makefile

   $ vi karenina.dbx
   $ make karenina.view
   $ make karenina.print

   $ vi svejk.tex
   $ make svejk.view
   $ make svejk.print

   $ make
   $ make clean

Other targets: filename.ps, filename.pdf, filename.2ps, filename.html, filename.printbig, filename.dvi.

Variables you might like to set in your Makefile: XMLDCL (default is /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl; if you’re not on a Debian GNU/Linux system, you’ll likely have to adjust this), HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL.

In a directory where you maintain .pod files, do

   $ echo include caspar/mk/pod.mk > Makefile
   $ vi lire.pod
   $ perldoc ./lire.pod
   $ make lire.pdf
   $ make
   $ less lire.overstrike-txt
   $ make clean

Other targets: filename.ps, filename.html, filename.txt, ... (Similar to the ones supplied by docbook.mk).

EXAMPLES

Some examples: Overriding the caspar-supplied DSSSL files: Create your own print.dls and html.dsl, in the same directory as your Docbook XML files. Your Makefile should read:

 PRINT_DSL = print.dsl
 HTML_DSL = html.dsl
 include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

Overriding the standard html-to-text convertor:

 $ W3M=lynx make svejk.txt

.

FILES

caspar/mk/docbook.mk, caspar/mk/pod.mk

ENVIRONMENT

For docbook.mk: files: XMLDCL, HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL; utilities: JADE, PDFJADETEX, PDFLATEX, JADETEX, LATEX, W3M, DVIPS, PSNUP, LPR, GV; settings: JADE_MAXERRORS. These variables can get adjusted in Makefile, as well as in the shell environment.

pod.mk Uses no environment variables.
