.Dd June 30, 1995
.Os FreeBSD 2.0.5
.Dt SGMLFMT 1
.Sh NAME
.Nm sgmlfmt
.Nd Formats SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Fl Ar format Op Fl Ar format...
.Op Fl Ar links
.Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command reads SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD,
validates them using the
.Xr 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:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
<!DOCTYPE linuxdoc PUBLIC "-//FreeBSD//DTD linuxdoc//EN">
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Fl Ar format
options for output include the following:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl html
Generates a set of linked HTML files suitable for use with an
HTML browser. A top level file,
.Pa file.html ,
contains the title, author, date, abstract and brief table of
contents for the document. A file
.Pa file_toc.html
contains a complete table of contents. A series of files named
.Pa file-1.html ,
.Pa file-2.html ...
.Pa file-n.html
contain the actual text of the document.
.It Fl latex
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .tex
suitable for processing with LaTeX. Note that the LaTeX style
file
.Pa /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/lib/linuxdoc.sty
must be accessible to LaTeX for correct processing.
.It Fl ascii
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .txt
suitable for viewing on an ASCII terminal.
.It Fl nroff
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .nroff
suitable processing with
.Xr nroff 1
or
.Xr groff 1 .
This is actually an intermediate conversion used by the
.Fl ascii
format option.
.It Fl links
When used with the
.Fl html
option, for each <label id="foo"> in the document source
.Nm
generates a symbolic link
.Pa foo.html
pointing to the numbered
.Pa .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 convenient 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 occurence of a slash (/) in label
is replaced with percent (%), while any occurence of a space is replaced
with an underscore (_).
.El
.Pp
If the input file name ends with
.Pa .sgml ,
the extension may be omitted on the command line.
In all cases, the output files are created in the current working
directory.
.Sh FILES
.Pa /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/dtd/linuxdoc
- the linuxdoc DTD.
.Pp
.Pa /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/rep/
- directory containing replacement files for
.Xr sgmlsasp 1 .
.Pp
.Pa /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/lib/linuxdoc.sty
- the LaTeX style used in documents produced with the
.Fl latex
format option.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr sgmls 1 ,
.Xr sgmlsasp 1 ,
.Xr groff 1
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
command appeared in Version 2.0.5 FreeBSD UNIX.
.Sh AUTHORS
The
.Nm
command was written by John Fieber
.Aq jfieber@FreeBSD.org .
The linuxdoc DTD was written by Matt Welsh
.Aq mdw@cs.cornell.edu
and based on the Qwertz DTD written by Tom Gordon
.Aq thomas.gordon@gmd.de .
.Sh BUGS
The ASCII output has many, many bugs including no table of
contents, no meaningful cross references, and numerous formatting
errors.
.Pp
A line in the SGML source file beginning with a period (.) will
confuse
.Xr groff 1
which is used to generate ASCII output.
.Pp
The divison of the sources file into separate HTML files is
currently fixed.
