caspar-typesetting - Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks


In a Makefile, write



include caspar/mk/docbook.mk


or



include caspar/mk/pod.mk


or



include caspar/mk/markdown.mk


.


The caspar docbook.mk, pod.mk and markdown.mk files are Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks, like typesetting LaTeX (see [3]), DocBook XML, DocBook SGML (see [2]), POD (see [1]) and Markdown (see [4]) documents. You just have to type make, instead of stuff like jade -t tex -d caspar/print.dsl /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl foobar.dbx.


In a directory where you maintain .dbx (Docbook XML) or .tex (LaTeX) files, do



$ echo include caspar/mk/docbook.mk > Makefile
$ vi karenina.dbx
$ make karenina.view
$ make karenina.print
$ vi svejk.tex
$ make svejk.view
$ make svejk.print
$ make
$ make clean


Other targets: filename.ps, filename.pdf, filename.2ps, filename.html, filename.printbig, filename.dvi.

Variables you might like to set in your Makefile: XMLDCL (default is /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl; if you're not on a Debian GNU/Linux system, you'll likely have to adjust this), HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL.

In a directory where you maintain .pod files, do



$ echo include caspar/mk/pod.mk > Makefile
$ vi lire.pod
$ perldoc ./lire.pod
$ make lire.pdf
$ make
$ less lire.overstrike-txt
$ make clean


Other targets: filename.ps, filename.html, filename.txt, ... (Similar to the ones supplied by docbook.mk).

In a directory where you maintain .md files, do



$ echo include caspar/mk/markdown.mk > Makefile
$ vi lire.md
$ make lire.html
$ make
$ make clean


.


Some examples: Overriding the caspar-supplied DSSSL files: Create your own print.dls and html.dsl, in the same directory as your Docbook XML files. Your Makefile should read:



PRINT_DSL = print.dsl
HTML_DSL = html.dsl
include caspar/mk/docbook.mk


Overriding the standard html-to-text convertor:



$ W3M=lynx make svejk.txt


.


caspar/mk/docbook.mk, caspar/mk/pod.mk, caspar/mk/markdown.mk.


For docbook.mk: files: XMLDCL, HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL; utilities: JADE, PDFJADETEX, PDFLATEX, JADETEX, LATEX, W3M, DVIPS, PSNUP, LPR, GV; settings: JADE_MAXERRORS. These variables can get adjusted in Makefile, as well as in the shell environment.

The files pod.mk and markdown.mk use no environment variables.
