DESCRIPTION
       The  jw	shell  script  allows to convert a DocBook file (or some other
       SGML-based format) to other formats (including HTML, RTF, PS  and  PDF)
       with  an easy-to-understand syntax. It hides most of Jade's or OpenJade
       complexity and adds comfortable features.

       Other scripts like docbook2html, docbook2rtf or docbook2ps provide dif‐
       ferent ways of calling jw that might be easier to remember.

       For the moment, jw does not handle XML, but only SGML.

       This  utility  assumes that several other components are installed. The
       list includes:

       · the ISO character entities for SGML

       · James Clark's DSSSL engine, jade, or an equivalent parser like	 Open‐
	 Jade

       · the DocBook DTD from the OASIS consortium

       · Norman	 Walsh's  DocBook  modular  style sheets (or some other set of
	 DSSSL style sheets)

       · Sebastian Rahtz's jadetex set of TeX macros for  jade	(for  backends
	 intended to "printing" formats like PDF, RTF or PostScript)

       · A perl interpreter (for backends that use perl)

       · SGMLSpm from CPAN (for backends that use sgmls)

       · Lynx HTML browser (for the txt backend)

       The jw script is basically called like this:

       jw mydoc.sgml

       where mydoc.sgml is a SGML file.

       The  command  line above uses default options: it converts from DocBook
       (the default frontend) to HTML (the default backend), does not put  the
       result  in  a  subdirectory  (unless  specified	otherwise in the style
       sheets), etc.

       In this example, the "mydoc" file name as well as the ".sgml" extension
       can  be	replaced by anything else. Current extensions for SGML DocBook
       files include ".sgml", ".sgm", ".docbook",  and	".db".	The  processed
       file mydoc.sgml can be in any other directory than the current one.

       Here  we have chosen to generate HTML output. In fact we can use any of
       the backends stored in the backends/ subdirectory of the	 DocBook-utils
       distribution  directory	(usually /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.8).
       Similarly, you can use any frontend defined in the frontends/ subdirec‐
       tory to convert from another input format.

       This  sample command creates one or many HTML files with arbitrary file
       names in the current directory. This default behavior  can  be  changed
       through command line options and/or customization style sheets.

OPTIONS
       The following options apply to the conversion script:

	[  [ -f frontend]  [ --frontend frontend] ]

       Allows  to  specify another frontend than default docbook.  The list of
       currently available frontends is:

       docbook
	      Converts docbook with Norman Walsh's style sheets. This frontend
	      searches	in the subdirectories of the base SGML directory for a
	      file named html/docbook.dsl or print/docbook.dsl	(depending  on
	      the backend's type: html or print).

	       [  [ -b backend]	 [ --backend backend] ]

       Allows  to  specify another backend than default HTML. The list of cur‐
       rently available backends is:

       dvi    Converts to DVI (DeVice Independant files) by  calling  Jade  or
	      OpenJade.

       html   Converts	to HTML (HyperText Markup Language) by calling Jade or
	      OpenJade.

       man    Converts a refentry to  a	 Unix  manual  page  by	 calling  doc‐
	      book2man. Does not work with other SGML document types than Doc‐
	      Book.

       pdf    Converts to PDF (Portable Document Format) by  calling  Jade  or
	      OpenJade.

       ps     Converts to PostScript by calling Jade or OpenJade.

       rtf    Converts	to RTF (Rich Text Format) by calling Jade or OpenJade.
	      The resulting file can then be inported into MS Word or  one  of
	      its Linux replacement programs.

       tex    Converts to TeX by calling Jade or OpenJade.

       texi   Converts	to GNU TeXinfo pages by calling docbook2texi. Does not
	      work with other SGML document types than DocBook.

       txt    Converts to a bare text file by calling Jade or  OpenJade,  then
	      Lynx.

	       [  [ -c file]  [ --cat file] ]

       Allows  to  use	an  extra SGML Open Catalog that will list other files
       like customization style sheets, adaptations to	the  DocBook  Document
       Type Definition, special character entities, etc. This catalog is added
       to the list of catalogs determined by the script	 (see  option  --nostd
       below)

	[  [ -n]  [ --nostd] ]

       Do not use the standard SGML Open Catalogs. Normally, the standard cat‐
       alogs list is determined like this:

       · if the centralized catalog exists, then use it. The centralized cata‐
	 log  is  a  list of all catalogs that might be necessary that usually
	 resides in /etc/sgml. Its name is provided by the frontend, for exam‐
	 ple the docbook frontend returns /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat.

       · Otherwise,  take  all the files named catalog from the subdirectories
	 of the SGML base directory (usually /usr/share/sgml).	This option is
	 useful	 in conjunction with the --cat option to use only the catalogs
	 that are specified on the command line.

	  [  [ -d file|default|none]  [ --dsl file|default|none] ]

       Allows to use a customized style sheet instead of the default one.

       A "target" starting with a hash mark "#" can be appended	 to  the  file
       name.  As  a  result, only the corresponding part of the style sheet is
       executed (the "style specification" whose "identificator" is  equal  to
       the target's name). A common use of this mechanism is to define "#html"
       and "#print" targets to trigger the corresponding part  of  a  replace‐
       ment style sheet which is common for both HTML and printout conversion.

       By replacing the file name with "default", the default style sheet pro‐
       vided with the frontend is used.	 For  example,	the  docbook  frontend
       returns	./docbook.dsl#html  (or	 ./docbook.dsl#print) in the SGML base
       directory.

       By replacing the file name with "none", no replacement style  sheet  is
       used,  not  even the default style sheet. The style sheet which is used
       is also determined by the frontend. For example, the  docbook  frontend
       returns	Norman	Walsh's	 html/docbook.dsl (or print/docbook.dsl) found
       somewhere below the SGML base directory.

       If no --dsl option is specified, then "--dsl default" is used.

	[  [ -l file]  [ --dcl file] ]

       Allows to use a customized SGML declaration instead of the default one.
       The  file  name	of  the	 default  SGML declaration is not set for SGML
       files, and is set to xml.dcl in the SGML base directory for XML files.

	[  [ -s path]  [ --sgmlbase path] ]

       Allows to use another location for the SGML base directory. This is the
       directory  below	 which	all SGML DTDs, style sheets, entities, etc are
       installed. The default value is /usr/share/sgml.

	[  [ -p program]  [ --parser program] ]

       Specify the parser to use (Jade or OpenJade) if several are  installed.
       If  this	 option	 is not specified, the script first tries to use Jade,
       then it tries OpenJade.

	[  [ -o directory]  [ --output directory] ]

       Set output directory where all the resulting files will be  stored.  If
       the  style  sheets  define  a subdirectory where to store the resulting
       files too, the subdirectory defined by the style sheets will be	placed
       below the subdirectory defined by this option.

	[  [ -u]  [ --nochunks] ]

       Output  only  one  big file. This option is useful only when generating
       HTML, because the output can be split into several files.  This	option
       overrides the setting that may be done in the style sheets.

	[  [ -i section]  [ --include section] ]

       Declare	a SGML marked section as "include". A SGML marked section is a
       kind of conditional part of a document. If it is declared "ignore",  it
       will  be	 left  ignored,	 otherwise it will be processed. An example of
       such a marked section would be:

		   <DOCTYPE mydoc [
		     <!ENTITY % confidential "ignore">
		   ]>
		   <mydoc>
		     ...
		     <![ %confidential [ Some confidential text... ]]>
		     ...
		   </mydoc>

	[  [ -w type|list]  [ --warning type|list] ]

       Enables or disables the display of given types of warnings.  Several -w
       options might be entered on the command line.  Warning types that start
       with "no-" disable the corresponding warnings, the other	 types	enable
       them.

       If  the	warning	 type  is replaced with "list", then a list of allowed
       warning types is displayed.

	[  [ -e type|list]  [ --error type|list] ]

       Disables given types of errors.	Several -e options might be entered on
       the command line.  All error types start with "no-".

       If the error type is replaced with "list", then a list of allowed error
       types is displayed.

	[  [ -h]  [ --help] ]

       Print a short help message and exit

	[  [ -v]  [ --version] ]

       Print the version identifier and exit
