DocBook SGML DTD-3.1

Introduction to DocBook SGML DTD

The DocBook SGML DTD package contains document type definitions for verification of SGML data files against the DocBook rule set. These are useful for structuring books and software documentation to a standard allowing you to utilize transformations already written for that standard.

Installation of DocBook SGML DTD

Install DocBook SGML DTD by running the following commands:

cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig &&
sed -e '/ISO 8879/d' docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat &&
cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig &&
sed -e '/gml/d' docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat &&
cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig &&
sed -e 's|DTDDECL "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"|SGMLDECL|g' \
docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat &&
install -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1 &&
chown -R root:root . &&
chmod -R 755 . &&
install docbook.cat /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog &&
cp -af *.dtd *.mod *.dcl /usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1 &&
install-catalog --add /etc/sgml/sgml-docbook-dtd-3.1.cat \
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-3.1/catalog &&

/etc/sgml/sgml-docbook.cat

Command explanations

cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig sed -e '/ISO 8879/d' docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig sed -e '/gml/d' docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat

These commands remove the ENT definitions from the catalog file.

cp docbook.cat docbook.cat.orig sed -e 's|DTDDECL "-//OASIS//DTD Docbook V3.1//EN"|SGMLDECL|g' \ docbook.cat.orig > docbook.cat

This command replaces the DTDDECL catalog entry, which is not supported by Linux SGML tools, with the SGMLDECL catalog entry.
