  NAME
      caspar-typesetting - Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks

  SYNOPSIS
      In a Makefile, write

	include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

      or

	include caspar/mk/pod.mk

      .

  DESCRIPTION
      The  caspar  docbook.mk  and pod.mk files are Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks, like typesetting LaTeX (see [3]), DocBook XML,
      DocBook SGML (see [2]) and POD (see [1]) documents.  You just have to type make, instead of stuff  like  jade  -t  tex  -d  caspar/print.dsl
      /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl foobar.dbx.

  USAGE
      In a directory where you maintain .dbx (Docbook XML) or .tex (LaTeX) files, do

	 $ echo include caspar/mk/docbook.mk > Makefile

	 $ vi karenina.dbx
	 $ make karenina.view
	 $ make karenina.print

	 $ vi svejk.tex
	 $ make svejk.view
	 $ make svejk.print

	 $ make
	 $ make clean

      Other targets: filename.ps, filename.pdf, filename.2ps, filename.html, filename.printbig, filename.dvi.

      Variables  you  might  like  to  set  in	your  Makefile:  XMLDCL (default is /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl; if you're not on a Debian
      GNU/Linux system, you'll likely have to adjust this), HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL.

      In a directory where you maintain .pod files, do

	 $ echo include caspar/mk/pod.mk > Makefile
	 $ vi lire.pod
	 $ perldoc ./lire.pod
	 $ make lire.pdf
	 $ make
	 $ less lire.overstrike-txt
	 $ make clean

      Other targets: filename.ps, filename.html, filename.txt, ...  (Similar to the ones supplied by docbook.mk).

  EXAMPLES
      Some examples: Overriding the caspar-supplied DSSSL files: Create your own print.dls and html.dsl, in the same directory as your Docbook XML
      files. Your Makefile should read:

       PRINT_DSL = print.dsl
       HTML_DSL = html.dsl
       include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

      Overriding the standard html-to-text convertor:

       $ W3M=lynx make svejk.txt

      .

  FILES
      caspar/mk/docbook.mk, caspar/mk/pod.mk

  ENVIRONMENT
      For  docbook.mk: files: XMLDCL, HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL; utilities: JADE, PDFJADETEX, PDFLATEX, JADETEX, LATEX, W3M, DVIPS, PSNUP, LPR, GV; set-
      tings: JADE_MAXERRORS. These variables can get adjusted in Makefile, as well as in the shell environment.

      pod.mk Uses no environment variables.
