DocBook XSL Stylesheets (Namespaced) Dependencies

Recommended (at runtime)

libxml2-2.13.5

Optional (all used at runtime)

apache-ant-1.10.15 (to produce “webhelp” documents), libxslt-1.1.42 (or any other XSLT processor), to process Docbook documents, Ruby-3.3.6 (to utilize the “epub” stylesheets), Zip-3.0 (to produce “epub3” documents), and Saxon6 and Xerces2 Java (used with apache-ant-1.10.15 to produce “webhelp” documents)

Installation of DocBook XSL Stylesheets (Namespaced)

First, fix a problem that causes stack overflows when doing recursion: 

patch -Np1 -i ../docbook-xsl-1.79.2-stack_fix-1.patch

BLFS does not install the required packages to run the test suite and provide meaningful results.

Install DocBook XSL Stylesheets by running the following commands as the root user: 

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2 &&

cp -v -R VERSION assembly common eclipse epub epub3 extensions fo        \
         highlighting html htmlhelp images javahelp lib manpages params  \
         profiling roundtrip slides template tests tools webhelp website \
         xhtml xhtml-1_1 xhtml5                                          \
    /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2 &&

ln -s VERSION /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2/VERSION.xsl

The documentation for this package is shared with its non-namespaced counterpart, the docbook-xsl-nons-1.79.2 package. Install the latter if you want the documentation.

Configuring DocBook XSL Stylesheets

Config Files

/etc/xml/catalog

Configuration Information

Create (or append) and populate the XML catalog file using the following commands as the root user (both http and https forms are used because upstream have had both in their documentation): 

if [ ! -d /etc/xml ]; then install -v -m755 -d /etc/xml; fi &&
if [ ! -f /etc/xml/catalog ]; then
    xmlcatalog --noout --create /etc/xml/catalog
fi &&
