<H2><A NAME="s17">17. Converting the SGML File</A></H2>
<P>Having made the SGML file we are now ready to convert it to
the various output formats we need. The following is my
script to process my Multi Disk HOWTO:
<P>
<HR>
<PRE>
sgml2txt -f disk.sgml
sgml2html disk.sgml
sgml2latex --papersize=a4 --language=english --output=ps ~stein/doc/disk.sgml
mv disk.ps disk-A4.ps
gzip -9 disk-A4.ps
sgml2latex --papersize=letter --language=english --output=ps ~stein/doc/disk.sgml
mv disk.ps disk-US.ps
gzip -9 disk-US.ps
</PRE>
<HR>
<P>The template can be converted as is, substitute "disk.sgml" with
the filename of this template to see what it looks like.
<P>If your document is small (such as this template)
you might find it more convenient to
keep formatted versions in one single file
rather than splitting it for every chapter:
<P>
<HR>
<PRE>
sgml2html --split=0 template.sgml
