[My answer applies to XXE v5.3. I don't know if this is the case with
earlier releases. May be. May be not.]
--> The documentation of db5.toPSFile is displayed by invoking:
convertdoc -h db5.toPSFile
---
convertdoc [options] db5.toPSFile docbook_file_or_URL \
-s pdf -s "|pdf" -u pdf_file_or_URL
Convert DocBook document docbook_file_or_URL to PDF file pdf_file_or_URL.
Example:
convertdoc db5.toPSFile doc.xml -s pdf -s "|pdf" -u out/doc.pdf
convertdoc db5.toPSFile docbook_file_or_URL \
-s ps -s "|eps|ps" -u ps_file_or_URL
Convert DocBook document docbook_file_or_URL to PostScript file
ps_file_or_URL.
Example:
convertdoc db5.toPSFile doc.xml -s ps -s "|eps|ps" -u out/doc.ps
---
See "The convertdoc command-line tool"
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convertdoc.html
--> Therefore:
[1] You need to rewrite your db5.convertToPS as follows:
---
<command name="db5.convertToPS">
<macro>
<sequence>
<command name="db5.chooseStylesheet" />
<command name="selectConvertedFile"
parameter="saveFileURLWithExtension=%0" />
<command name="db5.toPSFile"
parameter='"%0" "%1" "%_"' />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
---
[2] db5.convertToPS must be invoked (normally; as this is the case in
the stock configuration) as follows:
---
<item label="Convert to _PDF..."
command="db5.convertToPS"
parameter="pdf |pdf" />
---
--> As of v5.3, there is a simpler, albeit slightly different in its
operation, way to achieve the feature you want:
[a] Add this to your DocBook 5 customization:
---
<property name="db5.toPS.alternateXSLT.base" url="true">.</property>
<!-- Title/URI pairs separated by a newline character -->
<property name="db5.toPS.alternateXSLT">
OMG spec
omg/fo.xsl
IEEE paper
ieee/fo.xsl
</property>
---
[b] Select the stylesheet you want by using "Options|Customize
Configuration|Customize Document Conversion Stylesheets", "Convert to
PDF, PostScript" section.
