I can view as dvi, postscript or pdf; but the TOC and the images fail to be produced. I can not even view as html, no file.

However, I can export to sgml (or DocBook), and from that file manually export to html using "docbook2html texto.sgml" on a console, and I get better results: at least the html files are produced. The TOC is there, but the images lack the extension on their names, so that the html files have to be manually edited. Using "sgml2html texto.sgml" produces the same bad results.

1) use db2html ( comes with docbook-toys

I have found one of the problems in sgmltools reading the howto (/usr/share/doc/howto/en/html/mini/DocBook-Install/using.html). It seems that sgmltools needs some environment variables:

/etc/profile.d/sp.sh /etc/profile.d/jade_dsl.sh They are commented by default so uncomment them and your SGML variables are set including jade :-)

It seems to me that the sgmltools are very broken in suse 7.3... I wonder if they ever tested it :-? I'll check when I update to 8.1 soon what happens.

They are sure at least I have been using them since 7.2 and had not had a problem (except Turkish language support which was fixed by me adding the translations and fixing the db2x.sh for the correct SP_ENCODING you may get the newer versions from your_favorite_mirror/ftp.suse.com/people/ke and if you want to use Lyx with Docbook check http://bgu.chez.tiscali.fr/doc/db4lyx/index.html -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
