<para>The <application>txt2docbook</application> tool allows one to convert a ascii (README-like) file to a valid docbook xml document.

<title>LyX to DocBook</title>
<para>This section is contributed by Chris Karakas.</para>
<para>You can use the <application>LyX-to-X</application> package to write your document conveniently in <application>LyX</application> (a visual editor originally developped as a graphical frontend to <application>LaTeX</application>), then export it to DocBook SGML and submit it to The LDP. This method is presented by <ulink url="http://www.karakas-online.de">Chris Karakas</ulink> <ulink url="http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML"><citetitle>Document processing with LyX and SGML</citetitle></ulink>.</para>
<para>In the LyX-to-X project, LyX is used as a comfortable graphical SGML editor. Once the document is exported to SGML from LyX, it undergoes a series of transformations through <application>sed</application> and <application>awk</application> scripts that correct the SGML code, computes the Index, inserts the Bibliography and the Appendix and takes care of the correct invocation of <application>openjade</application>, <application>pdftex</application>, <application>pdfjadetex</application> and all the other necessary programs for the generation of HTML (chunked or not), PDF (with images, bookmarks, thumbnails and hyperlinks), PS, RTF and TXT versions.</para>
<para>All aspects of document processing are handled,
including automatic Index generation, display of Mathematics in TeX quality both online and in print formats, as well as the use of bibliographic databases with <ulink url="http://refdb.sourceforge.net/">RefDB</ulink>. Special care is taken so that the document processing is as transparent to the user as possible - the aim being that the user writes in LyX, then presses a button, and the LyX-to-X script does the rest. Download the documentation and the LyX-to-X package from the <ulink url="http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/formats.html">Formats section</ulink>.
