1 LFS Book Conversion Tools Installation Instructions
3 After downloading the CVS source, there are some things that need to be set up
4 on your computer if you want to convert the XML source into something easier to
5 read (e.g. HTML, TXT, PS or PDF). If you are interested in this, then keep
6 reading. If you are only interested in editing the XML source for re-
7 submission to the lfs-book or lfs-dev mailing lists, then you do not need this
8 document. Instead, you need to read the LFS Editor's Manual. See the LFS
9 website at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org for more information.

12 If all you want to do is convert XML to HTML perform the following:
15 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxml2.html
18 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/libxslt.html
21 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/DocBook.html
23 * DocBook XSL Stylesheets
24 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/pst/docbook-xsl.html
26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27 If you want to be able to convert the book into PDF as well, then you will need
28 the FOP package. This takes an XSL-FO file (created with libxslt which you
29 already installed) and converts it to PDF:
31 - http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz
33 Install FOP by running:
36 tar -xzvf /usr/src/fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz &&
39 Now set JAVA_HOME, FOP_HOME and PATH to values appropriate to your system.
