NAME
       sgml2latex - create LaTeX, DVI or PostScript output from a
       SGML source file

SYNOPSIS
       sgml2latex   [generic-option...]     [--output=tex|dvi|ps]
       [--bibtex]    [--makeindex]    [--pagenumber=n]    --quick
       file[.sgml]

DESCRIPTION
       sgml2latex converts a SGML source file  to  LaTeX  output,
       using the sgmls(1) parser, and the sgmlsasp(1) translator.
       Using the LaTeX output, and the latex(1)  text  formatter,
       you  can  then  create  DVI  output, and PostScript output
       using  the  dvips(1)  converter.  Output  will  appear  in
       file.tex  for  LaTeX  output,  file.dvi for DVI output, or
       file.ps for PostScript output, where file is the  name  of
       the SGML source file.

       The  attribute/value pair "output=latex2e" is set for con-
       ditionals.

OPTIONS
       sgm2latex accepts all the generic  optionsd  described  in
       sgmltools(1),andthefollowingspecificoptions:

       --output=fmt, -l
              Specify  the  desired output format.  The specifier
              fmt may be ``tex'', ``dvi'', or ``ps''.

       --bibtex, -b
              Process the generated TeX with bibtex(1).

       --makeindex, -m
              Generate a TeX index file suitable  for  processing
              with  makeindex(1)  from  and  <idx> and <cdx> tags
              present in the SGML source.

       --pagenumber, -n
              Set the starting page number in the output  DVI  or
              PS file.

       --quick, -q
              Do  only  one  pass  of  LaTeX formatting.  This is
              often  not  sufficient  to  produce  final   output
              (because  of  references,  etc.)  but is useful for
              spotting TeX errors and justification problems.

       --pass, -P
              The argument of the pass option  is  inserted  just
              after the LaTeX preamble generated by the document-
              type tag.

       file   The  SGML  source  file,  named  either   file   or
              file.sgml

FILES
       Many  files  and  executables  in $LINUXDOCLIB and $LINUS-
       DOCBIN are used.

BUGS
       None known.
