Default - document type is 'article' unless the format is 'manpage' (in which - case it defaults to 'manpage'). - -*-b, --backend*='BACKEND':: - 'BACKEND' is the name of an installed backend plugin. When this - option is specified 'a2x' attempts load a file name 'a2x-backend.py' - from the 'BACKEND' plugin directory It then converts the - 'SOURCE_FILE' to a 'BACKEND' formatted output file using a global - function defined in 'a2x-backend.py' called 'to_BACKEND'. - -*-f, --format*='FORMAT':: - Output formats: 'chunked', 'docbook', 'dvi', 'epub', 'htmlhelp', - 'manpage', 'pdf' (default), 'ps', 'tex', 'text', 'xhtml'. - The AsciiDoc 'a2x-format' attribute value is set to 'FORMAT'. - -*-h, --help*:: - Print command-line syntax and program options to stdout. - -*--icons*:: - Use admonition or navigation icon images in output documents. The - default behavior is to use text in place of icons. - -*--icons-dir*='PATH':: - A path (relative to output files) containing admonition - and navigation icons.

If 'SOURCE_FILE' -contains a comment line beginning with *// a2x:* then the remainder of -the line will be treated as 'a2x' command-line options. For example: - - // a2x default options. - // a2x: -dbook --epubcheck - // Suppress revision history in dblatex outputs. - // a2x: --dblatex-opts "-P latex.output.revhistory=0" - -- Options spanning multiple such comment lines will be concatenated. -- Zero or more white space characters can appear between the leading - *//* and *a2x:*. -- Command-line options take precedence over options set in the source - file. - - -[[X4]] -OUTPUT FILES ------------- -Output files are written to the directory specified by the -*--destination-dir* option. If no *--destination-dir* option is set -output files are written to the 'SOURCE_FILE' directory. - -Output files have the same name as the 'SOURCE_FILE' but with an -appropriate file name extension: `.html` for 'xhtml'; `.epub` for -'epub'; `.hhp` for 'htmlhelp'; `.pdf` for 'pdf'; `.text` for 'text', -`.xml` for 'docbook'. By convention manpages have no `.man` extension -(man page section number only). Chunked HTML directory names have a -`.chunked` extension; chunked HTML Help directory names have a -`.htmlhelp` extension. - -Same named existing files are overwritten. - -In addition to generating HTML files the 'xhtml', 'epub', 'chunked' -and 'htmlhelp' formats ensure <<X3,resource files>> are copied to -their correct destination directory locations. - - -[[X3]] -RESOURCES ---------- -Resources are files (typically CSS and images) that are required by -HTML based outputs ('xhtml', 'epub', 'chunked', 'htmlhelp' formats). -'a2x' scans the generated HTML files and builds a list of required CSS -and image files. Additional resource files can be specified explicitly -using the *--resource* option. - -'a2x' searches for resource files in the following locations in the -following order: - -. The 'SOURCE_FILE' directory. -. Resource directories specified by the *--resource* option (searched - recursively). -. Resource directories specified by the *--resource-manifest* option - (searched recursively in the order they appear in the manifest - file). -. The stock `images` and `stylesheets` directories in the - 'asciidoc(1)' configuration files directories (searched - recursively). -. The destination directory. - -When a resource file is found it is copied to the correct relative -destination directory. Missing destination sub-directories are created -automatically. - -There are two distinct mechanisms for specifying additional resources: - -. A resource directory which will be searched recursively for missing - resource files. -. A resource file which will be copied to the output destination - directory. - -Resources are specified with *--resource* option values which can be -one of the following formats: - - <resource_dir> - <resource_file>[=<destination_file>] - .<ext>=<mimetype> - -Where: - -`<resource_dir>`:: - Specifies a directory (absolute or relative to the 'SOURCE_FILE') - which is searched recursively for missing resource files. To - eliminate ambiguity the `<resource_dir>` name should end with a - directory separator character. - -`<resource_file>`:: - Specifies a resource file (absolute or relative to the - 'SOURCE_FILE') which will be copied to `<destination_file>`. If - `<destination_file>` is not specified then it is the same as the - `<resource_file>`. - -`<destination_file>`:: - Specifies the destination of the copied source file. The - `<destination_file>` path is relative to the destination directory - (absolute paths are not allowed). The location of the destination - directory depends on the output 'FORMAT' (see the <<X4,*OUTPUT - FILES*>> section for details): - - chunked, htmlhelp;; The chunked output directory. - epub;; The archived `OEBPS` directory. - xhtml;; The output *DESTINATION_DIR*. - -`.<ext>=<mimetype>`:: - When adding resources to EPUB files the mimetype is inferred from - the `<destination file>` extension, if the mimetype cannot be - guessed an error occurs. The `.<ext>=<mimetype>` resource syntax can - be used to explicitly set mimetypes. `<ext>` is the file name - extension, `<mimetype>` is the corresponding MIME type. - -Resource option examples: - - --resource ../images/ - --resource doc/README.txt=README.txt - --resource ~/images/tiger.png=images/tiger.png - --resource .ttf=application/x-font-ttf - - -EXAMPLES --------- -`a2x -f pdf doc/source-highlight-filter.txt`:: - Generates `doc/source-highlight-filter.pdf` file. - -`a2x -f xhtml -D ../doc --icons -r ../images/ team.txt`:: - Creates HTML file `../doc/team.html`, uses admonition icons and - recursively searches the `../images/` directory for any missing - resources. - -`a2x -f manpage doc/asciidoc.1.txt`:: - Generate `doc/asciidoc.1` manpage. - - -[[X1]] -REQUISITES ----------- -'a2x' uses the following programs: - -- *Asciidoc*: - http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ -- *xsltproc*: (all formats except text): - http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ -- *DocBook XSL Stylesheets* (all formats except text): - http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/xsl/ -- *dblatex* (pdf, dvi, ps, tex formats): - http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/ -- *FOP* (pdf format -- alternative PDF file generator): - http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ -- *w3m* (text format): - http://w3m.sourceforge.net/index.en.html -- *Lynx* (text format -- alternative text file generator): - http://lynx.isc.org/ -- *epubcheck* (epub format -- EPUB file validator): - http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/ - -See also the latest README file. - - -[[X2]] -CONF FILES ----------- -A configuration file contains executable Python code that overrides -the global configuration parameters in `a2x.py`.
