ngl it's simple and that's the beauty of it: meinproc5 converts DocBook files to HTML. that's the tea ☕ DocBook in, HTML out, slay 💅

💅 GENERIC OPTIONS 💅

the basics, the little starter pack, the ones you'll reach for first 🍓

• -h--help — shows you help about options 🫶 she'll tell you what she can do, bestie.
• -v--version — shows you version information ✨ so you know exactly which girl you're working with.

yes, those are written exactly like that, -h--help and -v--version, no space in between. that's the manpage's own formatting, we don't question the queen 💀

🔥 APPLICATION OPTIONS 🔥

this is where it gets juicy, this is the real content, the main character energy 🌈

• --cache file — creates a cache file for the document 🧚 like a lil save-state for your docs, obsessed.
• --check — checks the document for validity 👑
  • the output can be a bit daunting, since one small mistake can cause a cascade of errors 😭 like a whole avalanche from one tiny oopsie.
  • the trick is to look at the first error, fix that error, save the file, and run meinproc5 again 🫶 one at a time, bestie. that's the way.
• -o, --output file — outputs the whole document to file 💖
• --stdout — outputs the whole document to stdout 🦋 straight to your terminal, no file drama.
• --stylesheet xsl — the stylesheet to use 🎀
• --srcdir dir — sets the root directory to look for kdoctools 🌸
• --param key=value — sets parameters to pass to the stylesheet ✨

⭐ USAGE ⭐

the most common way to run meinproc5 is simply as

meinproc5 docbook-file

where docbook-file is usually index.docbook 💫 this command creates HTML pages from the DocBook file. note that these pages are only viewable in KDE-based browsers (like Konqueror) 👀 so don't be surprised if your other browser is like "girl what is this".

if you need to view the HTML output in another browser (for example, if you're placing it on line), use

meinproc5 --stylesheet stylesheet-name docbook-file

where stylesheet-name is the full path to one of the XSL stylesheets in <kdoctools_installation_prefix>/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/ 🧚 to produce output suitable for the web, you can use kde-web.xsl or kde-chunk-online.xsl 🌈 see the README file in that directory for more details, iykyk 💜
