Remko's DocBook kit
Author: Remko Tronçon (http://el-tramo.be)
License: BSD
------------------------------------------


Requirements
------------
- Python >= 2.4 (http://python.org)
- xmllint (http://xmlsoft.org/xmllint.html). Part of LibXML2.
- xsltproc (http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html). Part of LibXML2.
- pdftk (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/). For PDF attachments. Optional.
- links (http://links.sourceforge.net). For TXT output.
- wget (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/). To download required DocBook files. 
- aspell (http://aspell.net/). For spellchecking. Optional.
- zip. For EPUB format. Optional.


Usage
-----
To use this kit, put it in the directory of your DocBook project, and have
a look at the example/ dir to see how to use it in your project.

Tools
-----
* The Makefile include automatically downloads DocBook if necessary,
  and automatically builds your project (and its depended-on files).
  If you want to avoid downloading all tools if you already have them in
  another project that uses the docbook-kit, just create a 'docbook' softlink 
  to the 'docbook' dir in your other project.

  The makefile provides the following commands:
  - 'make': Create HTML and PDF versions (if FOP is available) of the document
  - 'make html': Create a HTML version of the document
  - 'make pdf': Create a PDF version of the document
  - 'make epub': Create an EPUB version of the document
	- 'make wordpress': Create a PHP file that integrates with a WordPress blog
  - 'make txt': Create a text version of the document
  - 'make clean': Clean up all generated files
  - 'make check-document': Validates the document syntax
  - 'make check-spelling': Checks the spelling of the document
  - 'make check-quotes': Checks for correct usage of curly quotes
  - 'make check-braces': Checks for correctly balanced braces
  - 'make check-ulinks': Checks whether the URIs pointed to by <ulink/>
      elements are valid.
  - 'make package': Creates a tarball of your document. The package contains
      a flattened version of the DocBook sources, and normalized figure
      names.

If you want to use custom fonts in your style sheets, drop the .ttf or
.pfm file in the fonts/ directory.
