Sorry, bad copy-paste, docbook-utils provides docbook2texi, which is just #! /bin/sh jw -f docbook -b texi "$@" and expects SGML, not XML: The jw(1) man page says: For the moment, jw does not handle XML, but only SGML. The docbook2x package provides docbook2x-texi, which is a Perl script using xsltproc, thus expecting XML and with --string-param support. So, before looking at docbook2texi, it is necessary to look at docbook2x-texi. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
