NAME¶
refdbnd - creates a skeleton document and a Makefile for RefDBSYNOPSIS¶
Interactive mode:refdbnd
Non-interactive mode:
refdbnd basename doctype pubtype
database style encoding [css-file]
[fo-driver] [ html-driver] [xhtml-driver]
DESCRIPTION¶
This script should be the first choice for novices for creating new SGML,XML, or RTF documents for use with RefDB(7). If called without arguments, the script runs in a novice-friendly interactive mode and collects a few answers about the new document. Based on these answers it will create a skeleton document as well as a custom-tailored Makefile that performs all necessary steps to create formatted output from the document. Alternatively you can call this script from a directory that contains an existing SGML, XML, or RTF file. Pass the full name to the script when it asks for a filename, and the script will try to guess some of the settings from the existing file. The script can create the following document types: DocBook SGMLVersions 3.1, 4.0, 4.1
DocBook XML
Versions 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.3, 5.0
TEI XML
Versions P4, P5
Rich Text Format (RTF)
Version 1.9 (M$ Word 2007 and earlier, OpenOffice,
AbiWord, and most other contemporary word processors)
The skeleton documents created by the script contain the appropriate prolog for
the selected document type. If required (SGML, DTD-based XML), an external
entity is declared in the internal subset in order to include the
bibliography.
OPTIONS¶
basenameThe basename of the document, i.e. sans extension. If you
want to end up with foo.pdf, use foo
doctype
Available options are db31, db40, and
db41 for DocBook SGML; db41x, db42x, and db43x for
DocBook XML; teix for TEI XML; rtf for RTF
pubtype
This is one of set, book, or article
for DocBook, and TEI.2 for TEI. This argument is ignored by the other
document types, but must be present nonetheless (pass "foo" or
"bar", depending on your mood).
database
The name of the database that contains your
references.
style
The name of the bibliography style.
encoding
The character encoding of the document.
css-file
The name of a CSS file for the HTML output. This option
is meaningless for RTF documents and can be left out.
fo-driver
A custom driver file for fo output. Please consult the
manual for the requirements of such a driver. This option is meaningless for
RTF documents and can be left out.
html-driver
A custom driver file for html output. Please consult the
manual for the requirements of such a driver. This option is meaningless for
RTF documents and can be left out.
xhtml-driver
A custom driver file for xhtml output. Please consult the
manual for the requirements of such a driver. This option is meaningless for
RTF documents and can be left out.
MAKEFILE TARGETS¶
The Makefile is set up to process your document properly depending on its type. The following targets are available for SGML and XML documents: htmlCreates a set of HTML files.
pdf
Creates a PDF file.
ps
Creates a Postscript file (SGML documents only).
rtf
Creates a RTF file. The Rich Text Format can be edited by
most Word Processors.
Note
Not all FO processors offer RTF output, so this target may not work for XML
documents with your setup.
all
This is the default if you call make without
specifying a target. It will build all of the above targets.
htmldist
Creates a .tar.gz archive of the HTML files.
pdfdist
Creates a .tar.gz archive of the PDF file.
ps
Creates a .tar.gz archive of the Postscript file (SGML
documents only).
rtf
Creates a .tar.gz archive of the RTF file.
dist
This will build all of the above archives.
clean
This will remove all built files, except for the source
document using the full citation format.
shortclean
This will remove all built files, including the source
document using the full citation format.
For RTF output there is only a default target which you can invoke by running
make without an argument, and the "clean" target which
removes generated files.
