SGML2LATEX(1)SGML2LATEX(1)NAMEsgml2latex - create LaTeX, DVI or PostScript output from a SGML source
file
SYNOPSISsgml2latex [generic-option...] [--output=tex|dvi|ps] [--bibtex]
[--makeindex] [--pagenumber=n] --quick file[.sgml]
DESCRIPTIONsgml2latex converts a SGML source file to LaTeX output, using the
sgmls(1) parser, and the sgmlsasp(1) translator. Using the LaTeX out‐
put, and the latex(1) text formatter, you can then create DVI output,
and PostScript output using the dvips(1) converter. Output will appear
in file.tex for LaTeX output, file.dvi for DVI output, or file.ps for
PostScript output, where file is the name of the SGML source file.
The attribute/value pair "output=latex2e" is set for conditionals.
OPTIONS
sgm2latex accepts all the generic optionsd described in sgmltools(1),
and the following specific options:
--output=fmt, -l
Specify the desired output format. The specifier fmt may be
``tex'', ``dvi'', or ``ps''.
--bibtex, -b
Process the generated TeX with bibtex(1).
--makeindex, -m
Generate a TeX index file suitable for processing with makein‐
dex(1) from and <idx> and <cdx> tags present in the SGML source.
--pagenumber, -n
Set the starting page number in the output DVI or PS file.
--quick, -q
Do only one pass of LaTeX formatting. This is often not suffi‐
cient to produce final output (because of references, etc.) but
is useful for spotting TeX errors and justification problems.
--pass, -P
The argument of the pass option is inserted just after the LaTeX
preamble generated by the document-type tag.
file The SGML source file, named either file or file.sgml
FILES
Many files and executables in $LINUXDOCLIB and $LINUSDOCBIN are used.
BUGS
None known.
