&gt; &gt; I am currently trying to update a couple of mini HOWTOs. Using vim to
&gt; &gt; write (my preference). I've got sgml key mappings, etc so this is
&gt; &gt; working well for me. Occasionally, I'd like to get a look at the HTML
&gt; &gt; (or alternately text) rendered version. I am using Redhat, and have
&gt; &gt; sgmltools-1.09 installed with jade, etc. This works, but not well.
&gt; &gt; &lt;sect2&gt; is broken with HTML. So reading the HOWTO-HOWTO, I see
&gt; &gt; mentions of sgmtools-2. Where? sgmltools.org gets a 404. Nothing on
&gt; &gt; rpmfind.net greater than 1.09 (that I see). Freshmeat lists v2, but
&gt; &gt; back we go to 404 at sgmltools.org.
&gt;
&gt; First things first, what is the first line of your SGML HOWTO? Or phrased
&gt; another way, are you using LinuxDoc or DocBook?
Linuxdoc. Actually looking at updating two mini HOWTOs, and both are
Linuxdoc.
&gt; Lite is called such because it does not bundle jade or any other tools, only
&gt; the python scripts that do the processing.
OK..
&gt; &gt; I haven't yet absorbed all the tools involved here and the
&gt; &gt; relationships between them (jade, etc), so if I am missing something
&gt; &gt; really simple and fundamental, please clue me. Again, I am looking for
&gt; &gt; something quick and easy just to translate sgml -&gt; html.
&gt;
&gt; Go to <A HREF="http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/">http://sources.redhat.com/docbook-tools/</A>, and download their RPMs. If
&gt; you're using Debian, I think something like apt-get sgml-doc will work. If
&gt; you're not using either RPM or debian, can't help you very much. Anyway,
&gt; those tools should get you started, then, hopefully, you can just run
&gt; 'db2html howto.sgml' and get your output. If you're using LinuxDoc,
&gt; somebody else can help, but since it doesn't sound like you're already stuck
&gt; with knowing LinuxDoc, learn DocBook. HTH,
&gt; Grego
&gt;
Are they _that_ different? I am learning mostly by example at this
point from the existing mini HOWTOs that I am working on. Does it blow
things just to change the doctype? I am using RH BTW, so I'll have a
look there. Thanks for that pointer. souceforge has been an adventure
so far.
