NAME
       dblatex - convert DocBook to LaTeX, DVI, PostScript, and PDF

SYNOPSIS
       dblatex [options] file

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page briefly documents the dblatex command. For more
       details read the PDF manual; see below.

       dblatex is a program that transforms your SGML/XML DocBook documents to
       DVI, PostScript or PDF by translating them into pure LaTeX as a first
       process.	 MathML 2.0 markups are supported, too.	 It started as a clone
       of DB2LaTeX.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below.	For a complete description,
       see the PDF manual.

       -h, --help
	   Show a help message and exit.

       -b backend, --backend=backend
	   Backend driver to use: pdftex (default), dvips, or xetex.

       -B, --no-batch
	   All the tex output is printed.

       -c config, -S config, --config=config
	   Configuration file. A configuration file can be used to group all
	   the options and customizations to apply.

       -d, --debug
	   Debug mode: Keep the temporary directory in which dblatex actually
	   works.

       -D, --dump
	   Dump the error stack when an error occurs (debug purpose).

       -f figure_format, --fig-format=figure_format
	   Input figure format: fig, eps. Used when not deduced from figure
	   file extension.

       -F input_format, --input-format=input_format
	   Input file format: sgml, xml (default).

       -i texinputs, --texinputs texinputs
	   Path added to TEXINPUTS

       -I figure_path, --fig-path=figure_path
	   Additional lookup path of the figures.

       -l bst_path, --bst-path=bst_path
	   Additional lookup path of the BibTeX styles.

       -L bib_path, --bib-path=bib_path
	   Additional lookup path of the BibTeX databases.

       -m xslt, --xslt=xslt
	   XSLT engine to use. The available engines are: xsltproc (default),
	   4xslt.

       -o output, --output=output
	   Output filename. When not used, the input filename is used, with
	   the suffix of the output format.

       -p xsl_user, --xsl-user=xsl_user
	   An XSL user stylesheet to use. Several user stylesheets can be
	   specified, but the option order is meaningful.

       -P param=value, --param=param=value
	   Set an XSL parameter from command line.

       -r script, --texpost=script
	   Script called at the very end of the tex compilation. Its role is
	   to modify the tex file or one of the compilation files before the
	   last round.

       -s latex_style, --texstyle=latex_style
	   Latex style to apply. It can be a package name, or directly a latex
	   package path. A package name must be without a directory path and
	   without the '.sty' extension. On the contrary, a full latex package
	   path can contain a directory path, but must ends with the '.sty'
	   extension.

       -t format, --type=format
	   Output format. Available formats: tex, dvi, ps, pdf (default).

       --dvi
	   DVI output. Equivalent to -tdvi.

       -x xslt_options, --xslt-opts=xslt_options
	   Arguments directly passed to the XSLT engine

       -X, --no-external
	   Disable the external text file support. This support is needed for
	   callouts on external files referenced by textdata or imagedata, but
	   it can be disabled if the document does not contain such callouts.
	   Disabling this support can improve the processing performance for
	   big documents.

FILES AND DIRECTORIES
       $HOME/.dblatex/
	   User configuration directory.

       /etc/dblatex/
	   System-wide configuration directory.

       directory.

	   configuration files.

	   dblatex myfile.xml

       To set some XSL parameters from the command line:

	   dblatex -P latex.babel.language=de myfile.xml

       To use the db2latex output style:

       To apply your own latex style:
