daps - A complete environment to build HTML, PDF, ePUB and other
formats from DocBook XML.

[GLOBAL OPTIONS] subcommand
[COMMAND OPTIONS]
DAPS contains a set of stylesheets, scripts and Makefiles that
enable you to create HTML, PDF, ePUB and other formats from DocBook XML with
a single command. It also contains tools to generate profiled source
tarballs for distributing your XML sources for translation or review.
DAPS also includes tools that assist you when writing DocBook XML:
linkchecker, validator, spellchecker, editor macros and stylesheets for
converting DocBook XML.
Most of DAPS' functionality can be accessed with the command
daps. Run daps help to access the built-in tool
documentation. If you want information about a specific command, you can run
daps subcommand help
--adocattr="NAME=VALUE"
Overwrite, define or delete an AsciiDoc document
attribute. >To overwrite an attribute already defined in the AsciiDoc
document, use
NAME=
VALUE, or just
NAME for attributes
without a value. To delete a value set in the document use
NAME!. To
set a value that is not already set in the document, use
NAME=
VALUE@.
Default: unset.
This option can be specified multiple times. Only works with
AsciiDoc sources and is ignored otherwise.
--adocimgdir=IMAGE_DIR
Specify a directory for the images used in the AsciiDoc
sources. Must contain all images, subdirectories are ignored. Not required if
the images reside in the directory structure required for DocBook projects
(see DAPS manual).
Default: unset.
Only works with AsciiDoc sources and is ignored otherwise.
--builddir=BUILDDIR
Directory where every output DAPS generates will end up.
Default: DOC DIR/build/
--color=(0|1)
By default errors, results, warnings and certain info
messages are printed in color using bash color codes. Set to '0' to turn off
colors.
Default: 1 (when the output does not go to a terminal, colored
output will be disabled automatically).
--commands
Show a list of available DAPS sub commands.
--debug
Print debugging messages. Alternatively see the
--verbosity options for an output that is better readable.
--docconfig=DC-FILE, -d
DC-FILE
Path to doc config file to use. Mandatory unless there is
only a single
DC-FILE in the current directory or unless you have
configured a default value (
DOCCONF_DEFAULT) in ~/.config/daps/dapsrc.
Default: unset.
Note: Options --docconfig and --main exclude each
other.
--fb_styleroot=PATH_TO_STYLESHEET
Fallback styleroot directories. Can only be used in
conjunction with
--styleroot. By default, the DocBook stylesheets are
used as a fallback if custom styles for an output format are not present. With
this option you can specify a list of alternative fallbacks (space separated
absolute paths). The directories will be tested in the order specified, the
first one that applies to the requested format, will be used. The original
DocBook stylesheets will be used as a last resort. Useful if you have forks of
your custom stylesheets.
Default: unset.
--force
Force a rebuild of the document even when an up-to-date
version exists.
--help, -h
Help
--jobs
Specify how many parallel jobs to use. Higher numbers
will significantly increase the processing speed, but will also set your
machine under heavy load, up to a point where it may become (temporarily)
unresponsive.
Default: Use as many jobs as CPU cores are available.
--main=FILE, -m FILE
Path to the main file defining your document.
Note: Options --main and --docconfig exclude each
other.
--schema=URN
URN to a DocBook 5 schema that is to be used for
validation. Will be ignored when validating DocBook 4 documents. Note: To
validate with a local schema, specify an absolute path with the file:// prefix
(e.g. file:///foo/schema.rnc)
--styleroot=PATH_TO_STYLESHEET
By default, DAPS uses the DocBook Stylesheets to create
output. If you have your own set of stylesheets, specify the absolute path to
the stylesheet directory here. The DocBook stylesheets will be used as a
fallback in case styles are not defined for all output formats.
--verbosity=0, -v0
Verbosity Level 0 (print 1 line of results)
--verbosity=1, -v1, -v
Verbosity Level 1 (print intermediate results)
--verbosity=2, -v2, -vv
Verbosity Level 2 (print all files created)
--verbosity=3, -v3, -vvv
Verbosity Level 3 (print all commands, very verbose).
Parallelization of jobs will be turned off, to increase the readability.
--version
Print the version number
--xsltprocessor=PROCESSOR
Specify an XSLT processor that is used to transform the
XML files. Currently supported are "xsltproc" and "saxon"
(version 6).
Default: xsltproc
