|

Yes, that is true. There are no DSSSL stylesheets available for
|
|
transforming a linuxdoc SGML instance into it's various output
|
|
formats using the jade engine (at least nothing I know of).
|
|
|
|
If you wish to keep the document in the old linuxdoc DTD, then
|
|
there is a different toolset you can use to process the content:

|
|
|
|
Well, the tools I have pointed out are pretty easy to use.
|
|
There are some limitations in using the linuxdoc DTD over
|
|
DocBook - lack of table support, lack of graphics/images -
|
|
are two that come immediately to mind. The LDP supports both
|
|
the linuxdoc and DocBook DTDs although we *recommend* (but
|
|
don't force!) using DocBook for any HOWTOs under development.
|
|
|
|
If you go to DocBook, then yes, you should be able to use
|
|
jade, DSSSL, etc. (the tools you currently have installed).
|
|
|
|
There is a linxudoc to DocBook translation filter that
|
|
utilizes the jade engine; although I recommend that you
|
|
look over (and possibly edit) the filtered output if you
|
|
use it:
