6 gjots2docbook - Convert a gjotsfile to DOCBOOK (on stdout)

9 gjots2docbook -a|-b [ -e ] [ -P ] [ -p ] [ gjotsfile ]

12 gjots2docbook converts a gjotsfile into DOCBOOK XML.
13
14 gjots2docbook uses awk(1) to perform the conversion.
15
16 gjots2docbook does not create them so the first element in the file
17 should contain any <bookinfo> or <artheader> element. Similarly, <bib‐
18 liographic> elements are not created. In fact the output is very sim‐
19 plistic with item titles in the gjotsfile being converted to chapter or
20 section headings in DOCBOOK. There is no reason why your gjotsfile
21 should not contain valid DOCBOOK XML - and that is why the -e and -p
22 options are provided.
23
24 If the file does not start with <?xml ...> then appropriate lines will
25 be added as follows:
26
27 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
28 <!DOCTYPE doc_type PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN">
29
30 If properly installed, the docbook utilities can then be used to create
31 HTML, man, ps, pdf etc files eg:
32
33 gjots2docbook -b ~/.gjotsfile >gjotsfile.xml
34 docbook2pdf gjotsfile.xml
35
36 It may be necessary to fine-tune the docbook formatting to access all
37 features.
38
40 -a makes a DOCBOOK article
41
42 -b makes a DOCBOOK book
43
44 -e don't encode special characters eg < -> <
45
46 -p don't change blank lines to </para><para> markers
47
48 -P first section is a preface rather than a chapter (book only)
