| 14 | A manual page <package>.<section> will be generated. You may view the | |
| 15 | manual page with: nroff -man <package>.<section> | less'. A typical entry | |
| 16 | in a Makefile or Makefile.am is: | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | DB2MAN = /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl | |
| 19 | XP = xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param man.charmap.use.subset "0" | |

| 21 | manpage.1: manpage.xml | |
| 22 | $(XP) $(DB2MAN) $< | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package. The XSL files are in | |
| 25 | docbook-xsl. A description of the parameters you can use can be found in the | |
| 26 | docbook-xsl-doc-* packages. Please remember that if you create the nroff | |
| 27 | version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need | |
| 28 | to include xsltproc and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field. | |
| 29 | Alternatively use the xmlto command/package. That will also automatically | |
| 30 | pull in xsltproc and docbook-xsl. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | Notes for using docbook2x: docbook2x-man does not automatically create the | |
| 33 | AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections. In this case, please add them manually as | |
| 34 | <refsect1> ... </refsect1>. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | To disable the automatic creation of the AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections | |
| 37 | read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/doc/manpages/authors.html. This file can be | |
| 38 | found in the docbook-xsl-doc-html package. | |
