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
       document	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
		       suitable	 for  printing or display on a PostScript com-
		       patible device.

	       roff    Generates a single output file with the extension .roff
		       suitable	processing with	groff(1).  This	is actually an
		       intermediate  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
	       document	encoding recorded in the <HEAD>	element	of the	gener-
	       ated 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  ignored,  this  definition	will  take precedence over any
	       other definitions of this entity	in the document	type  declara-
	       tion.  Multiple -i options are allowed.	If the declaration re-
	       places  the  reserved  name  INCLUDE then the new reserved name
	       will be the replacement text of the entity.  Typically the doc-
	       ument 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 op-
	       tion 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	conve-
	       nient  hook  by which separate documents	can provide links into
	       another document	without	the links becoming  invalid  when  the
	       target  document	 is  modified.	When creating a	symbolic link,
	       any occurrence of a slash (/) in	label is replaced with percent
	       (%), while any occurrence of a space is replaced	with an	under-
	       score (_).

       -hdr file

       -ftr file
	       When used with the -f html option, the contents of  the	speci-
	       fied  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 spec-
       ification files for instant(1).
