The xmlto package is a front-end to a XSL toolchain. It chooses an appropriate stylesheet for the conversion you want and applies it using an external XSLT processor. It also performs any necessary post-processing.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/xmlto
Install xmlto by running the following commands:
LINKS="/usr/bin/links" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
LINKS="/usr/bin/links"
: This environment variable fixes a
bug causing xmlto to think that
links command is the same as
elinks. Setting this variable does not cause problems
if links is not installed, unless
you have ELinks installed, and
wish to use it for text backend post-processing, in which case,
remove it.
