Automation

Processing can be automated through using Makefiles.

Example:

TARGET = installchecklist

XMLFILE = ${TARGET}.xml
HTMLFILE = ${TARGET}.html
FOFILE = ${TARGET}.fo
PDFFILE = ${TARGET}.pdf

FOSTYLESHEET = installconfig.xsl
HTMLSTYLESHEET = /usr/share/sgml/docbook/e-smith-html.xsl

all: 	html pdf

html: 
	xsltproc -o ${HTMLFILE} ${HTMLSTYLESHEET} ${XMLFILE}
pdf:
	xsltproc -o ${FOFILE} ${STYLESHEET} ${XMLFILE}
	Fop -fo ${FOFILE} ${PDFFILE}

Now make all will generate both HTML and PDF.
