NAME
     sgmlfmt -- Formats SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD.

SYNOPSIS
     sgmlfmt -f format [-links] [-i name ...] [-e encoding] [-hdr file]
	     [-ftr file] file

DESCRIPTION
     The  sgmlfmt command reads SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD,
     validates them using the sgmls(1) parser and  then  converts  them  to  the
     specified	output	format.  The input file must include the following docu-
     ment type declaration before any uncommented text:

	   <!DOCTYPE linuxdoc PUBLIC "-//FreeBSD//DTD linuxdoc//EN">

     Options for sgmlfmt include the following:

     -f format
	     Determines the output format which can be one of the following:

	     ascii   Generates a single output file with  the  extension  .ascii
		     suitable for viewing on an ASCII terminal.

	     html    Generates	a set of linked HTML files suitable for use with
		     an HTML browser.  A top level file, file.html, contains the
		     title, author, date, abstract and brief table  of	contents
		     for the document.	A file file_toc.html contains a complete
		     table  of	contents.   A  series of files named file1.html,
		     file2.html ... filen.html contain the actual  text  of  the
		     document.

	     koi8-r  Generates	a  single output file with the extension .koi8-r
		     suitable for viewing on an terminal supporting  the  KOI8-R
		     character encoding.

	     latex   Generates	a  single  output file with the extension .latex
		     suitable for processing with LaTeX.

	     latin1  Generates a single output file with the  extension  .latin1
		     suitable	for   viewing  on  an  terminal  supporting  the
		     ISO8859-1 character encoding.

	     ps      Generates a single output file with the extension .ps suit-
		     able for printing or display on a PostScript compatible de-
		     vice.

	     roff    Generates a single output file  with  the	extension  .roff
		     suitable processing with groff(1).  This is actually an in-
		     termediate  conversion  used by the -f ascii, -f latin1, -f
		     koi8-r, and -f ps format options.

     -e encoding
	     When used with the -f html output format, this specifies the  docu-
	     ment  encoding recorded in the <HEAD> element of the generated HTML
	     files.  The default is iso-8859-1.

     -i name
	     Pretend that
		   <!ENTITY % name INCLUDE >
	     occurs at the start of the document type declaration subset in  the
	     document  entity.	 Since repeated definitions of an entity are ig-
	     nored, this definition will take precedence over any other  defini-
	     tions of this entity in the document type declaration.  Multiple -i
	     options are allowed.  If the declaration replaces the reserved name
	     INCLUDE  then the new reserved name will be the replacement text of
	     the entity.  Typically the document type declaration will contain
		   <!ENTITY % name IGNORE >
	     and will use %name; in the status keyword specification of a marked
	     section declaration.  In this case the effect of the option will be
	     to cause the marked section not to be ignored.

     -links  When used with the -f html option, this option  generates	a  shell
	     script  named  file.ln.   For each <label id="foo"> in the document
	     source, file.ln generates a symbolic link foo.html pointing to  the
	     numbered  .html file containing the reference.  Since the number of
	     the file containing a particular section can change when a document
	     is modified, this provides a convenient hook by which separate doc-
	     uments can provide links into another document  without  the  links
	     becoming invalid when the target document is modified.  When creat-
	     ing  a symbolic link, any occurrence of a slash (/) in label is re-
	     placed with percent (%), while any occurrence of  a  space  is  re-
	     placed with an underscore (_).

     -hdr file

     -ftr file
	     When  used  with  the -f html option, the contents of the specified
	     files will be inserted into the generated HTML files at the  top  (
	     -hdr) and bottom ( -ftr) of the page.

     If the input file name ends with .sgml, the extension may be omitted on the
     command  line.   In  all cases, the output files are created in the current
     working directory.

FILES
     /usr/local/share/sgml/transpec - directory containing translation	specifi-
     cation files for instant(1).
