This is the collection of documentation tools for XFree86 project.
These tools comes from FreeBSD documentation project, and then relatvely
minor customisations are added by XFree86 project to handle with 
the XFree86 DTD (derived from old LinuxDoc DTD) SGML source.

  Description: documentation tools for XFree86
    This is the collection of documentation tools
    for XFree86 project. These tools comes from
    FreeBSD documentation project, and then relatvely 
    minor customisations are added by XFree86 project.

quoted from copyright file:

 =====  =====  =====  =====  =====  =====  =====  =====  =====  ===== 
This is a collection of documentation tools, based closely on 
the tools used by the FreeBSD documentation project (as of early 1998).  
The XFree86-specific customisations are relatively minor.

This package was debianized by Taketoshi Sano <sano@debian.org> on
Fri, 18 Jun 1999 14:25:59 +0900.

It was downloaded from 
   <ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.1/source/doctools-1.2.tgz>

Upstream Authors:

The SGML parser used is James Clark's sp/nsgmls.  Although the full
jade package is included here, only the sp part is built and used
(for now).

The instant package (from OSF) is used to translate the SGML parser
output into the appropriate format.

The whole lot is driven from a perl script called sgmlfmt, written
by John Fieber <jfieber@FreeBSD.org>.  sgmlfmt also takes care of
a significant amount of the work when producing HTML output.

The SGML document descriptions (DTD) included here are the original
linuxdoc-1.1, two versions with modifications for FreeBSD use, and
one based on the more recent FreeBSD version with a couple of additions
for compatibility of the older tools XFree86 was using.  The DocBook
DTD (from the Davenport Group -- who's work is hosted at O'Reilly's web
site) is also included.

Instant translation descriptions are included (in sgmlformat/transpec)
for translating the linuxdoc formats to [g]roff, latex, html and docbook.
The latter allows a quick conversion from linuxdoc to docbook.  Translation
descriptions for DocBook are include for [g]roff and html, although at
least the [g]roff one appears incomplete and in need of work.
