Here is the Makefile [last] only one problem, the XSLT file or
xsltproc tool (?) doesn't seem to transform the HTML into RSS,
really, output is basically a text file with no markup
whatsoever except for the first line which is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
Maybe I do something wrong?
name = tree-house
src = ${name}.html
srcpp = ${name}-pp.html
trans = html2rss.xsl
dst = ${name}.rss
opts = --html
all: ${dst}
${srcpp}: ${src}
sed -e 's/<\/*fig\(ure\|caption\)>//g' $< > $@
${dst}: ${srcpp}
xsltproc -o $@ ${opts} ${trans} $<
