Greetings,
Sorry for the frustrated post, but I am trying to
go back and do some linuxdoc document generation
(been about 2 years). I have a howto I need to
update and some documentation for a customer I
am writing and linuxdoc seems a good fit, if I can
get it working properly as I need html and a
nice printed book-like format (ps or pdf).
I have the samples: big-howto-template.sgml and
big-howto-template-ld.sgml.
My system is RH 7.1 with rpms installed for:
docbook-dtd3.0, 3.1, 4.1
docbook-utils-pdf-0.6-13
docbook-style-dsssl-1.59-10
sgml-tools-1.0.9-9
sgml--common-0.5-5
psgml-1.2.1-13
I have the following (probably dumb) questions:
1) When running sgml2html big--howto-template.sgml:
a) cannot generate system identifier for public text
"-//OASIS//DTD...."
b) I get a lot of errors about "element "IMAGEOBJECT" undefined"
for most of the elements.
c) I asssume these problems are a path or configuration
issue. I tried changing the DTD line to 4.1 and
re-running, but with the same result.
2) When I edited big-howto-template-ld.sgml to include
an image, I am having problems with image placement
in sgml2ps. I took a screen capture of kcalc and
saved it as jpg, gif, and eps files. I then changed
the figure tag to
<figure loc="here">
<eps file="kcalc.eps" height="4cm">
<image src="kcalc.gif">
</figure>
The image appears fine in sgml2html output, but in the
postscript output, the image starts in the middle of
the screen and typically goes off the right side.
How can I make the image start at the left margin? I can
then scale the image for a nice output....
Cheers,

According to Microsoft, GPL and similar licenses are "viral"
licenses. I guess .NET is clearly a "potentially viral
software platform". It would be a nice way to propagate a virus.
