converting sgml files into pdf files
Hi
When I installed abs-guide package, the documentation comes in html
format. However I like to have the abs-book in pdf format. So I unzipped
the /usr/share/doc/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml.gz to abs-book.sgml. Then I
tried to convert the sgml file into a pdf one by doing
$docbook2pdf abs-book.sgml
Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog
Using stylesheet: /usr/share/docbook-utils/docbook-utils.dsl#print
Working on: /home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:1:55:W: cannot generate
system identifier for public text "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V3.1//EN"
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:339:0:E: reference to
entity "BOOK" for which no system identifier could be generated
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:1:0: entity was defined
here
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:339:0:E: DTD did not

jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:341:5:E: element "BOOK"

element "SUBTITLE" undefined
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:347:11:E: element "AUTHOR"
undefined
...... a bunch of similar errors ...
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:685:52:E:
element "FIRSTTERM" undefined
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:690:15:E:
element "FIRSTTERM" undefined
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:692:12:E:
element "FOOTNOTE" undefined
jade:/home/raju/practice/abs-guide/abs-book.sgml:693:10:E: element "PARA"
undefined
jade:I: maximum number of errors (200) reached; change with -E option
Is this a bug in docbook2pdf or in abs-guide? In general how does one go
about converting a .sgml file to .pdf?
thanks in advance
