  14 A manual page <package>.<section> will be generated. You may view the
  15 manual page with: nroff -man <package>.<section> | less'. A typical entry
  16 in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:
  17
  18 DB2MAN = /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
  19 XP     = xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param man.charmap.use.subset "0"
  20
  21 manpage.1: manpage.xml
  22         $(XP) $(DB2MAN) $<
  23
  24 The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package. The XSL files are in
  25 docbook-xsl. A description of the parameters you can use can be found in the
  26 docbook-xsl-doc-* packages. Please remember that if you create the nroff
  27 version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need
  28 to include xsltproc and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field.
  29 Alternatively use the xmlto command/package. That will also automatically
  30 pull in xsltproc and docbook-xsl.
  31
  32 Notes for using docbook2x: docbook2x-man does not automatically create the
  33 AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections. In this case, please add them manually as
  34 <refsect1> ... </refsect1>.
  35
  36 To disable the automatic creation of the AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections
  37 read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/doc/manpages/authors.html. This file can be
  38 found in the docbook-xsl-doc-html package.
