#### Recommended (at runtime)

libxml2-2.15.3

#### Optional (all used at runtime)

apache-ant-1.10.17 (to produce “webhelp” documents), libxslt-1.1.45 (or any other XSLT processor), to process Docbook documents, Ruby-4.0.3 (to utilize the “epub” stylesheets), Zip-3.0 (to produce “epub3” documents), and Saxon6 and Xerces2 Java (used with apache-ant-1.10.17 to produce “webhelp” documents)

## Installation of DocBook XSL Stylesheets (Namespaced)

First, fix a problem that causes stack overflows when doing recursion:

    patch -Np1 -i ../docbook-xsl-1.79.2-stack_fix-1.patch

BLFS does not install the required packages to run the test suite and provide meaningful results.

Install DocBook XSL Stylesheets by running the following commands as the `root` user:

    install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2 &&

    cp -v -R VERSION assembly common eclipse epub epub3 extensions fo        \
             highlighting html htmlhelp images javahelp lib manpages params  \
             profiling roundtrip slides template tests tools webhelp website \
             xhtml xhtml-1_1 xhtml5                                          \
        /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2 &&

    ln -s VERSION /usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2/VERSION.xsl

The documentation for this package is shared with its non-namespaced counterpart, the docbook-xsl-nons-1.79.2 package. Install the latter if you want the documentation.

## Configuring DocBook XSL Stylesheets

### Config Files

`/etc/xml/catalog`

### Configuration Information

Create (or append) and populate the XML catalog file using the following commands as the `root` user (both http and https forms are used because upstream have had both in their documentation):

    (set -e

     install -v -d -m755 /etc/xml
     [ -e /etc/xml/catalog ] || xmlcatalog --noout --create /etc/xml/catalog

     for uri in http{,s}://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl/{1.79.2,current} \
                http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current; do
       for rewrite in System URI; do
         xmlcatalog --noout --add "rewrite$rewrite"        \
           "$uri"                                          \
           "/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.79.2" \
           /etc/xml/catalog
       done
     done)
