Nik Clayton e366972e90 I hope this has done the right thing, I hate using easy-import.
This is JadeTeX, a set of TeX macros for processing the TeX output from
Jade and doing useful things with it. In the grand scheme of things,
it'll be used as part of the process to convert DocBook to PostScript
and PDF.

It depends on teTeX-beta, all 30 megs of it.

Sean Kelly did all this, and deserves the credit, I'm just committing
on his behalf.

That ticking noise you can here is LinuxDoc's shrinking lifetime.

This is JadeTeX, a TeX backend for Jade.
JadeTeX enables you to produce formatted output of documents written
with the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). JadeTeX uses
tex to produce Device Independent (DVI) output; from there, you can
produce high quality hardcopy. JadeTeX also uses pdftex to produce
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of your documents,
complete with hyperlinks, and suitable for distribution on the World
Wide Web and other media.
To use JadeTex, run your SGML document, its Document Type Definition
(DTD), and its Document Style Semantics and Specification Language
(DSSSL) specification, through jade with the "-t tex" option. Then,
to produce a DVI file, run
tex "&jadetex" <file>.tex
To produce a PDF file, run
pdftex "&pdfjadetex" <file>.tex
