NAME

caspar-typesetting - Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks

SYNOPSIS

In a Makefile, write

  include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

or

  include caspar/mk/pod.mk

or

  include caspar/mk/markdown.mk

.

DESCRIPTION

The caspar docbook.mk , pod.mk and markdown.mk files are Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks, like typesetting LaTeX (see [3]), DocBook XML, DocBook SGML (see [2]), POD (see [1]) and Markdown (see [4]) documents. You just have to type make , instead of stuff like jade -t tex -d caspar/print.dsl /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl foobar.dbx .

USAGE

In a directory where you maintain .dbx (Docbook XML) or .tex (LaTeX) files, do

   $ echo include caspar/mk/docbook.mk > Makefile

   $ vi karenina.dbx
   $ make karenina.view
   $ make karenina.print

   $ vi svejk.tex
   $ make svejk.view
   $ make svejk.print

   $ make
   $ make clean

Other targets: filename.ps , filename.pdf , filename.2ps , filename.html , filename.printbig , filename.dvi .

Variables you might like to set in your Makefile: XMLDCL (default is /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl ; if you’re not on a Debian GNU/Linux system, you’ll likely have to adjust this), HTML_DSL , PRINT_DSL .

In a directory where you maintain .pod files, do

   $ echo include caspar/mk/pod.mk > Makefile
   $ vi lire.pod
   $ perldoc ./lire.pod
   $ make lire.pdf
   $ make
   $ less lire.overstrike-txt
   $ make clean

Other targets: filename.ps , filename.html , filename.txt , ... (Similar to the ones supplied by docbook.mk ).

In a directory where you maintain CommonMark .md files, do

   $ echo include caspar/mk/markdown.mk > Makefile
   $ vi lire.md
   $ make lire.html
   $ make
   $ make clean

.

EXAMPLES

Some examples: Overriding the caspar-supplied DSSSL files: Create your own print.dls and html.dsl, in the same directory as your Docbook XML files. Your Makefile should read:

 PRINT_DSL = print.dsl
 HTML_DSL = html.dsl
 include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

Overriding the standard html-to-text convertor:

 $ W3M=lynx make svejk.txt

.

FILES

caspar/mk/docbook.mk , caspar/mk/pod.mk , caspar/mk/markdown.mk .

ENVIRONMENT

For docbook.mk : files: XMLDCL , HTML_DSL , PRINT_DSL ; utilities: JADE , PDFJADETEX , PDFLATEX , JADETEX , LATEX , W3M , DVIPS , PSNUP , LPR , GV ; settings: JADE_MAXERRORS . These variables can get adjusted in Makefile, as well as in the shell environment.

The files pod.mk and markdown.mk use no environment variables.
