The xml-dtd-4.2 package contains document type definitions for verification of xml data files against the DocBook rule set. These are useful for structuring books and software documentation to a standard allowing you to utilize transformations already written for that standard.

DocBook depends on:
libxml2-2.5.6 and unzip-5.50

Configuring DocBook

Config files

/etc/xml/catalog, /etc/xml/docbook

Configuration Information

The above installation script creates the files and updates the catalog. We need to make additional entries in order to process the BLFS book:
xmlcatalog --noout --add "delegateSystem" \
"/usr/share/docbook/" \
"file:///etc/xml/docbook" /etc/xml/catalog &&
xmlcatalog --noout --add "delegateURI" \
"/usr/share/docbook/" \
"file:///etc/xml/docbook" /etc/xml/catalog &&
xmlcatalog --noout --add "rewriteSystem" \
"/usr/share/docbook" \
"file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2" \
/etc/xml/docbook &&
xmlcatalog --noout --add "rewriteURI" \
"/usr/share/docbook" \
"file:///usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.2" \
/etc/xml/docbook

In order to install scrollkeeper, make the following entry:
xmlcatalog --noout --add "public" \
"-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" \
"http://oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" \
/etc/xml/docbook &&
xmlcatalog --noout --add "delegateSystem" \
"http://oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/" \
