Generating Latex-Suite documentation
====================================
In order to generate the html files and vim-help files from the XML source,
you will need to do follow the following steps. The steps are complex only
for a windows machine. On most (modern) linux machines, the various
utilities are already installed and all you need to do is some
soft-linking.
1. Download the Docbook XSL stylesheets from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935
I downloaded docbook-xsl-1.61.2.tar.gz. Unpack this archive under the
present directory. You should see something like::
./docbook-xsl-1.XX.X/
Rename this to::
./docbook-xsl
Alternatively, if you are on a modern unix system, the docbook-xsl
stylesheets should already be installed on your system. Soft-linking
will thus work more simply. On a typical Debian box, just do::
ln -s /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh docbook-xsl
The docbook-xsl stylesheets can be installed via the docbook-xsl
package on Debian. (Just use apt-get).
2. Download the Docbook DTD from
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip
Extract this into a subdirectory ``docbook-xml/`` under the present
directory. You should see something like::
./docbook-xml/
with a file ``docbookx.dtd`` located there.
**CAUTION**:
The archive above does not create a top level directory but
unzips directly into the present directory. Therefore, make sure to
run the unzip by first creating ``./docbook-xml/``, copying the zip
file there and then unzipping.
Alternatively, if you are on a modern unix system, the docbook-xml DTD
will already be installed. Softlinking will thus work. On a typical
Debian box, you could do::
ln -s /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/xml/4.2 docbook-xml
On debian, you need the docbook-xml package on Debian. (Just use
apt-get).
3. Download saxon.jar from
http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/saxon.jar
This is the bare .jar file without any of the other things which saxon
comes with. Add the ``saxon.jar`` file to your ``$CLASSPATH`` setting.
**NOTE:**
The ``$CLASSPATH`` setting should point to the ``saxon.jar`` file,
not the directory where it resides.
Again, on a unix system, you might not need to download this. For debian
systems, the saxon.jar file resides in::
/usr/share/java/saxon.jar
You can point your ``$CLASSPATH`` to that file.
4. Download db2vim (created by me :)) via anonymous cvs::
mkdir -p ~/bin/db2vim
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.vim-latex.sf.net:/cvsroot/vim-latex \
co -d ~/bin/db2vim db2vim
Add the ``~/bin/db2vim/`` directory thus created to your ``$PATH``
setting.
5. Create a new directory ``latex-suite/`` under the present directory for
the chunked html files to reside in. You should see something like::
./latex-suite/
6. Copy ``Makefile.in`` to ``Makefile`` or ``makefile`` and perform any
necessary customizations. For example, if you are using Activestate
python under windows, you will need to change the ls-txt: target as::
python e:/srinath/testing/db2vim/db2vim latex-suite.xml > latex-suite.txt
Thats it! You are ready. Now you can do::
make ls-chunk
make ls-flat
make ls-txt
to create the 3 formats.
