jfieber dbb19185a7 Change the behavior of the -links option. Instead of actually
creating a symbolic link from foo.html (from <label name="foo">) to
the numbered file, a shell script is built that can be used to make
the links at a later time (read: after installation in the target
directory).

.Sh NAME
.Nm sgmlfmt
.Nd Formats SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Fl f Ar format
.Op Fl links
.Op Fl ssi
.Op Fl i Ar name ...
.Ar file
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command reads SGML files tagged according to the linuxdoc DTD,
validates them using the
.Xr sgmls 1
parser and then converts them to the specified output format.
The input file must include the following document type
declaration before any uncommented text:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
<!DOCTYPE linuxdoc PUBLIC "-//FreeBSD//DTD linuxdoc//EN">
.Ed
.Pp
Options for
.Nm
include the following:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl f Ar format
Determines the output format which can be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Ar ascii
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .ascii
suitable for viewing on an ASCII terminal.
.It Ar html
Generates a set of linked HTML files suitable for use with an
HTML browser. A top level file,
.Pa file.html ,
contains the title, author, date, abstract and brief table of
contents for the document. A file
.Pa file_toc.html
contains a complete table of contents. A series of files named
.Pa file1.html ,
.Pa file2.html ...
.Pa filen.html
contain the actual text of the document.
.It Ar koi8-r
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .koi8-r
suitable for viewing on an terminal supporting the KOI8-R
character encoding.
.It Ar latex
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .latex
suitable for processing with LaTeX. Note that the LaTeX style
file
.Pa /usr/share/sgml/FreeBSD/linuxdoc.sty
must be accessible to LaTeX for correct processing.
.It Ar latin1
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .latin1
suitable for viewing on an terminal supporting the ISO8859-1
character encoding.
.It Ar ps
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .ps
suitable for printing or display on a PostScript compatible device.
.It Ar roff
Generates a single output file with the extension
.Pa .roff
suitable processing with
.Xr groff 1 .
This is actually an intermediate conversion used by the
.Fl f Ar ascii ,
.Fl f Ar latin1 ,
.Fl f Ar koi8-r ,
and
.Fl f Ar ps
format options.
.El
.It Fl i Ar name
Pretend that
.Dl <!ENTITY % name "INCLUDE">
occurs at the start of the document type declaration subset in
the document entity. Since repeated definitions of an entity are
ignored, this definition will take precedence over any other
definitions of this entity in the document type declaration.
Multiple
.Fl i
options are allowed. If the declaration replaces the reserved
name INCLUDE then the new reserved name will be the replacement
text of the entity. Typically the document type declaration will
contain
.Dl <!ENTITY % name "IGNORE">
and will use
.Li %name;
in the status keyword specification of a
marked section declaration. In this case the effect of the
option will be to cause the marked section not to be ignored.
.It Fl links
When used with the
.Fl f Ar html
option, this option generates a shell script named
.Pa file.ln .
For each
.Li <label id="foo">
in the document source,
.Pa file.ln
generates a symbolic link
.Pa foo.html
pointing to the numbered
.Pa .html
file containing the reference. Since the number of the file
containing a particular section can change when a document
is modified, this provides a convenient hook by which separate
documents can provide links into another document without the
links becoming invalid when the target document is modified.
When creating a symbolic link, any occurrence of a slash (/) in label
is replaced with percent (%), while any occurrence of a space is replaced
with an underscore (_).
.It Fl ssi
When used with the
.Fl f Ar html
option, hooks will be placed to have an http server include a
custom header and footer on the document using the server side
include mechanism. This mechanism is supported by the Apache and
NCSA http servers and possibly others. Included files are named
.Pa file.hdr
and
.Pa file.ftr
for the header and footer of the
.Pa file.html .
Other pages include file are named
.Pa file.ftr1 ,
.Pa file.ftr2 ...
.Pa file.ftrn
where the number corresponds to the depth of the file from
.Pa file.html .
.El
.Pp
If the input file name ends with
.Pa .sgml ,
the extension may be omitted on the command line.
In all cases, the output files are created in the current working
directory.
