    Trying to get LDP working in a Mandrake 7.2 installation on a Compaq Armada E500 laptop. i would like to create using XML DTD, and do the standard renderings (RTF, XML, HTML, text) plus PDF.

    As per instruction i have installed openjade 1.3, the XML DTD docbkx412, and Norman Walsh's DSSSL db162 in the directory /usr/local/xml, but with each in their own subdirectory (e.g. /usr/local/xml/openjade, /usr/local/xml/dtd, ...)

    The LDP-Author-Guide section 3.3.1.2 confuses me with this bit of instruction (http://linuxdoc.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/jade.html):

    "
    bash$ export
    SGML_CATALOG_FILES=$_xml_root/catalog:$_toolroot/dsssl/catalog:\
     $_toolroot/dtd/docbook/catalog (1)
     bash$ jade -t sgml -i html -d style $_jade_path/pubtext/xml.dcl foo.xml (2)
                 
    (1) You'll need the catalogs for XML, the DSSSL, and DocBook, respectively. $_toolroot was defined above.
     
    (2) Replace style with the DSSSL (ldp.dsl) you wish to use. The pointer to xml.dcl is required for jade to work, and it has to be listed immediately before the pointer to your XML document. This file may be in a different directory. Check your distribution.
    "

    This export command is not making sense to me. XML root DTD is located in /usr/local/xml/dtd/ , and $_toolroot/dsssl in /usr/local/xml/dsssl, but to my understanding $_toolroot/dtd/docbook/catalog is identical with the xml/dtd first referenced.

    Clearly my understanding is deficient. Would someone please set me straight?
