I have read the LDP-Author-Guide zillions of times, I still cannot
generate any indexes??
I am confused with sgml and xml. Sometimes the LDP-Author-Guide refer to
sgml and sometimes xml. The tools and scripts sometimes work with sgml
and sometimes xml? What's going on here? I've learn how to write
LinuxDoc and creating .sgml files, using sgml2html command to generate
html outputs. I am a beginner with docbook xml .
I've downloaded the LDP-Author-Guide xml soruce for testing. I am using
Redhat 7.3, I tried with the stock db2html command which have the
following errors. I browse the generated html, all index information is
missing. No chapter and section numbers. The same thing happen to my own
document. I've no wonder how to make the index look properly.
$ db2html LDP-Author-Guide.xml
output is LDP-Author-Guide
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.1.2-1.0-8.cat
Using stylesheet:
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.9/docbook-utils-a4.dsl#html
Working on:
/home/davidtl/projects/aptusdoc/res/LDP-Author-Guide/LDP-Author-Guide.xml
jade:/home/davidtl/projects/aptusdoc/res/LDP-Author-Guide/LDP-Author-Guide.xml:1742:0:E:
cannot find "index.xml"; tried
"/home/davidtl/projects/aptusdoc/res/LDP-Author-Guide/index.xml",
"/usr/share/sgml/index.xml"
