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"
20
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.
