Publican is patched to always use this +catalog. There are some problems with docbook validation with the +original slackware dockbook catalog and Publican's dependencies that +result in validation problems and failures for docbook 4.5 documents. + +For more details see +https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/linuxdoc-tools-problem-when-validating-docbook-4-5-documents-4175623483/ + +The resulting package picks the appropriate slackware's docbook 4.5 +xml's using the provided fixed catalog for docbook 4.5 documents. For +documents that are written in docbook 5.0 an active network connection +is required since docbook 5.0 is not included in slackware-14.2. + +fop is an alternative dependency to wkhtmltox for producing pdf +documents. fop use is deprecated upstream and Publican is not +compatible with fop version 2.0, an older fop version is required. +The recommended dependency for correct pdf's is wkhtmltox. + +For more information on how to use publican, see the user's guide in +/usr/doc/Publican-4.3.2/Users_Guide |
