Configuring docbook-xsl

Config files

/etc/xml/catalog

Configuration Information

The above installation script creates the files and updates the catalog.

If you would like to test xml-dtd and docbook-xsl against the BLFS book, use the following command. The command is written for a cvs checkout to your home directory with output going to the present working directory, so make any necessary modifications for your setup. 
xsltproc --nonet -o index.html \
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl \
~/BLFS/BOOK/index.xml
If successful you should have a html file that will display the BLFS Book in a browser on a single page. It will be formatted by the xsl docbook stylesheet, so it will not match the published BLFS book, which is formatted by DSSSL.
