Testing the DocBook SGML Toolchain (Optional)

The following commands will perform the necessary tests to confirm that your installed DocBook SGML toolchain will produce desired results. You must have the docbook-3.1-dtd, docbook-4.5-dtd, OpenSP-1.5.2, and OpenJade-1.3.2 packages installed, and perform the tests as the root user.

All tests will be performed from the /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/doc/testdata directory as the root user: 

cd /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/doc/testdata

The first test should produce no output to stdout (your screen) and create a file named jtest.rtf in the current directory: 

openjade -t rtf -d jtest.dsl jtest.sgm

The next test should return only the following line to stdout: onsgmls:I: "OpenSP" version "1.5.2" 

onsgmls -sv test.sgm

The next test should produce no output to stdout and create a file named test.rtf in the current directory: 

openjade -t rtf \
    -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/print/docbook.dsl \
    test.sgm

The last test should produce no output to stdout and create a file named c1.htm in the current directory: 

openjade -t sgml \
    -d /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets-1.79/html/docbook.dsl \
    test.sgm

Finally, clean up: 

rm jtest.rtf test.rtf c1.htm
