| PackageDescription | SGML converters for the LinuxDoc DTD only.
LinuxDoc is a kind of SGML DTD. It was created for
the Linux HOWTOs, and had been used officially by
the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). Now LDP has
aggressively migrated into the DocBook world, but many
documents are still available in LinuxDoc DTD sgml.
So users may still need the tool for LinuxDoc, therefore
LinuxDoc-Tools was created on the basis of sgml-tools_v1.
.
The main command is linuxdoc, and -B option is provided
to choose the proper backend driver for desired output.
linuxdoc -B check: for syntax checking
linuxdoc -B html: conversion to html

processing package, but for the other formats the
appropriate packages will have to be installed.

You can install linuxdoc-tools-text for required dependency of
