sgml2latex is an old and obsoleted form  of  the  latex  converter  command  of  LinuxDoc-Tools.   It  is
       recommended to switch the new form linuxdoc-Blatex now.  It converts a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to
       LaTeX  output, using the nsgmls(1) or onsgmls(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.

       Using  the LaTeX output, and the pdflatex(1) text formatter, you can  then  create  a  nice  PDF  output,
       suitable for viewing with PDF viewers as xpdf(1), acroread(1) or ghostview(1).

       The attribute/value pair "output=latex2e" is set for conditionals.

       Many files and executables in /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools and /usr/bin are used.

       sgml2latex - create LaTeX, DVI, PostScript or PDF output from a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file

sgml2latex accepts all the generic options described in linuxdoc(1), and the following specific options:

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

       Note:  This version does not overwrite/remove the intermediate files: tex file for dvi output, or tex/dvi
       files for ps output.  This is different behavior from the original SGML-Tools 1.0.9, so  you  are  warned
       here.

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

       --latex=alternate_latex_command, -x
              This option is currently for Korean and Japanese.  The alternate_latex_command  can  be  ``latex''
              (default),  ``hlatexp'' (for Korean), ``platex'' or ``jlatex'' (for Japanese).  This option can be
              used to render Korean document using HLaTeXp, or to render Japanese document using  pLaTeX/jLaTeX.
              If  not,  HLaTeX  should  be  installed  to  render  Korean document.  On the other hand, Japanese
              document can be rendered with jLaTeX
               (which is the default when ``-c nippon'' is specified), so if you already have  jLaTeX,  you  may
              not need to install the pLaTeX.

       --dvips=alternate_dvips_command, -s
              This  option  is  currently  for  Japanese.   The  alternate_dvips_command  can  be  ``dvips''  or
              ``dvi2ps''.  If you don't know this, then you may not need this.

       --verbosity, -V
              Set verbosity. '0' (default) will show info about LaTeX run only  in  case  of  errors.  '1'  will
              always show info for last run. '2' will show info for all runs.
