--- name: "debiandoc2latex2e" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "debiandoc-sgml" version: "1.1.12" release: "Debian 2.1 (Slink)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/debiandoc2ps" --- # debiandoc2latex2e(1) Debian SGML formatting scripts Part of [debiandoc2ps(1)](/debiandoc2ps/1.md). ## NAME debiandoc2dvi, debiandoc2dvips, debiandoc2html, debiandoc2info, debiandoc2latex2e, debiandoc2lout, debiandoc2texinfo, debiandoc2text, debiandoc2textov, debiandoc2ps - Debian SGML formatting scripts ## SYNOPSIS **debiandoc2dvi** \[**-k**\] \[**-p** ***papersize***\] *source*\ **debiandoc2dvips** \[**-k**\] \[**-p** ***papersize***\] *source*\ **debiandoc2html** \[**-k**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2info** \[**-k**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2latex2e** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**--**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2lout** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**--**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2ps** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**-1**\] \[**-p** ***papersize***\] \[**--**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2texinfo** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**--**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2text** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**--**\] *source*\ **debiandoc2textov** \[**-k**\] \[**-O**\] \[**--**\] *source* ## DESCRIPTION These programs convert *source*, which should be an SGML document conforming to the debiandoc DTD, to various output formats. Each format converter **debiandoc2***foo* places its output in *basename***.***foo* where *basename* is *source* with any leading directory components and any trailing **.sgml** removed. If *source* is **-** then input is taken from standard input. This option is not available with **debiandoc2dvi**, **debiandoc2dvips**, **debiandoc2info**, and **debiandoc2html**. **debiandoc2dvi** produces a DVI file via the LaTeX2e typesetting system. This can be used to produce PostScript output. **debiandoc2dvips** produces a PostScript file via the LaTeX2e typesetting system. **debiandoc2html** produces a subdirectory *basename***.html** containing an HTML representation of the input. The \`top level' page is named *basename***.html/index.html.** **debiandoc2info** produces an Info file via the Texinfo documentation system. **debiandoc2latex2e** produces an input file for the LaTeX2e typesetting system. This can be used to produce PostScript output. **debiandoc2lout** produces an input file for Jeffrey Kingston's Basser Lout typesetting system. This can also be used to produce PostScript output. **debiandoc2texinfo** produces an input file for the Texinfo documentation system. This can be used to produce an Info file. **debiandoc2text** produces a single plain ASCII text file, formatted to a width of 79 columns. **debiandoc2textov** produces an ASCII text file, formatted to a width of 79 columns, with overstrikes for highlighting (using backspaces and repeated characters or underscores). This is the same ASCII text output style as is generated by troff. **debiandoc2ps** produces a 2-up PostScript file formatted for landscape printing. ## OPTIONS - **-k** Causes the intermediate files to be left in the directory containing the destination file. These include files in **nsgmls**'s output format, *basename***.sasp** and *basename***.sasp-html,** *basename***.sasp-latex2e,** *basename***.sasp-lout,** *basename***.sasp-text,** or *basename***.sasp-textov,** for **debiandoc2dvi** the LaTeX2e typesetter input *basename***.latex2e** and the LaTeX2e cross-reference and log files *basename***.aux,** *basename***.toc,** and *basename***.log,** for **debiandoc2dvips** the LaTeX2e DVI file *basename***.dvi,** for **debiandoc2info** the Texinfo file *basename***.texinfo,** and for **debiandoc2ps** the Lout typesetter input *basename***.lout,** the 1-up postscript *basename***.ps1,** and *basename***.ps1x** as well as Lout's cross-reference database files **lout.li** and *basename***.lout.ld.** - **-O** Produces output to standard output instead of to the file *basename***.***foo.* This is implied when input is taken from standard input. This option is not available with **debiandoc2dvi**, **debiandoc2dvips**, **debiandoc2info**, and **debiandoc2html**. - **-1** This causes **debiandoc2ps** not to convert the output to \`2-up' style, where two pages of text are printed on each physical sheet. - **-p** *papersize* This causes **debiandoc2dvi**, **debiandoc2dvips**, and **debiandoc2ps** to produce output suitable for printing on paper whose size name is *papersize*. See [**papersize**(5)](/papersize/5.md) for details. - **--** Separates options from the *source*, in case it begins with a hyphen. ## ENVIRONMENT - **LANG** If this environment variable is set in accordance with the [**locale**(1)](/locale/1.md) support, its value is used for various strings in generating the output. Currently, the following languages are supported: Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. ## BUGS There should be a program to convert the overstrikes generated by **debiandoc2textov** from using backspaces to using carriage returns. The paper size support in **debiandoc2dvi**, **debiandoc2dvips**, and **debiandoc2ps** is not complete. ## SEE ALSO *Debiandoc-SGML Markup Manual*,\ *User's Guide to the Lout Document Formatting System*,\ *SP SGMLS parser manual*,\ *Texinfo: The GNU Project's documentation format*,\ *Makeinfo: Converts Texinfo files into Info files*,\ [**basename**(1)](/basename/1.md), [**latex**(1)](/latex/1.md), [**lout**(1)](/lout/1.md). ## COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1998 Ardo van Rangelrooij\ Copyright (C) 1996 Ian Jackson The **debiandoc-sgml** package is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or later for copying conditions.
