Fred Drake86bc7b01998-12-02 17:21:35 +00001These scripts and Makefile fragment are used to convert the Python
2documentation in LaTeX format to SGML. XML is also supported as a
3target, but is unlikely to be used.

5This material is highly preliminary and incomplete. The XML omnibus
6package developed by the Python XML-SIG is required. See
7http://www.python.org/sigs/xml-sig/ for more information on the
8package.

10To convert a document to SGML:
11
12 cd Doc/<document-dir>
13 make -f ../tools/sgmlconv/make.rules TOOLSDIR=../tools
14
15To generate XML instead, use:
16
17 cd Doc/<document-dir>
18 make -f ../tools/sgmlconv/make.rules TOOLSDIR=../tools xml
19
20Note that building the second target format is fast because both
21conversions use the same intermediate format (an ESIS event stream).
