    14 A manual page <package>.<section> will be generated. You may view the
       
    15 manual page with: nroff -man <package>.<section> | less'. A typical entry
       
    16 in a Makefile or Makefile.am is:
       
    17 
       
    18 DB2MAN = /usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/docbook-xsl/manpages/docbook.xsl
       
    19 XP     = xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param man.charmap.use.subset "0"

    21 manpage.1: manpage.xml
       
    22         $(XP) $(DB2MAN) $<
       
    23 
       
    24 The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package. The XSL files are in
       
    25 docbook-xsl. A description of the parameters you can use can be found in the
       
    26 docbook-xsl-doc-* packages. Please remember that if you create the nroff
       
    27 version in one of the debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need
       
    28 to include xsltproc and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field.
       
    29 Alternatively use the xmlto command/package. That will also automatically
       
    30 pull in xsltproc and docbook-xsl.
       
    31 
       
    32 Notes for using docbook2x: docbook2x-man does not automatically create the
       
    33 AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections. In this case, please add them manually as
       
    34 <refsect1> ... </refsect1>.
       
    35 
       
    36 To disable the automatic creation of the AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections
       
    37 read /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/doc/manpages/authors.html. This file can be
       
    38 found in the docbook-xsl-doc-html package.
