These scripts and Makefile fragment are used to convert the Python
documentation in LaTeX format to SGML. XML is also supported as a
target, but is unlikely to be used.
This material is preliminary and incomplete. The XML omnibus package
developed by the Python XML-SIG is required; specifically, the version
available in the public CVS repository. See
http://www.python.org/sigs/xml-sig/ for more information on the
package.
To convert all documents to SGML:
cd Doc/
make -f tools/sgmlconv/Makefile
To convert a document to SGML:
cd Doc/<document-dir>
make -f ../tools/sgmlconv/make.rules TOOLSDIR=../tools
To generate XML instead, use:
cd Doc/<document-dir>
make -f ../tools/sgmlconv/make.rules TOOLSDIR=../tools xml
Note that building the second target format is fast because both
conversions use the same intermediate format (an ESIS event stream).
This is true regardless of whether you build SGML or XML first.
