re: [Flightgear-devel] OT latex2html??

2003-09-28 Thread Carsten Höfer
Hmmm,
I had a quick look at the docbook stuff and it does not look too bad for
me.
Unfortunately I got some problems with converting it to pdf. I used
db2pdf on my SuSE (8.2) box and got the following error mesage:

running openjade failed; check style files included by:
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/docbook-toys/suse-both.dsl
aborting.

Does anyone have experiences with converting using openjade (or anything
else that does work)?

BTW, I just looked at the Docs directory. Do we prefer any format or
will we always have html and pdf in parallel?

Have fun,
Carsten

 If you have the time and patience, do a one-time conversion from LaTeX
 to Docbook SGML or XML.  Every Linux distro that I know of has tools
 to produce decent HTML, PDF, and even ASCII from Docbook (it's the
 standard format for Linux documentation).

We use 'pdflatex' for PDF output and 'htlatex' for the HML version of
the manual(s). As I'm not an expert this is quite tricky for me, but it
works and I'm confident with the result,

Martin.

Any suggestions for a 1:1 converter or a different format to PDF or

Don't Adobe's accessibility tools for PDF include an HTML converter (or
renderer)?

This seems to be an online service only.  I don't know if that's any use to you.

I had many problems with latex2html, too, but with a little
configuration it can yield good results.

An example is a documentation I had to write:
http://ftp.intevation.de/great-er/sciparam/manual/sciparam-manual.html

You can download the source for it in
http://intevation.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs-greater.cgi/sciparam/doc/
Especially the file .latex2html-init has to be tweaked to
give useful results.
