dblatex for Debian
------------------

The common place to discuss questions about dblatex is the mailing list
'dblatex-users', to be found at 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/dblatex/'.

However, if you have questions/problems concerning the package's Debian
packaging, perhaps a better way is to contact the Debian maintainer.


Master configuration files - also called specification files - chosen at the
command line are searched for at the following locations, the first found file
wins:

(1) ./                              (Document specific style)
(2) ~/.dblatex/                     (User specific styles)
(3) /etc/dblatex/                   (Site specific styles)
(4) /usr/share/dblatex/latex/specs/ (Standard styles supplied by upstream)
(5) $DBLATEX_CONFIG_FILES           (Optional environment variable)


dblatex's optional dependencies are needed for:

- Post analysis after failure (DocBook validation):
  * libxml2-utils
- Online display of transformation result:
  * pdf-viewer
- XeTeX backend:
  * lmodern
  * texlive-xetex
- On-the-fly image conversion:
  * ghostscript
  * graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat | imagemagick
  * transfig
- Improved CJK support (gkai fonts):
  * latex-cjk-all
- Option latex.encoding=utf8:
  * texlive-lang-cyrillic
- SGML support:
  * docbook
  * opensp

Please note that the various texlive-lang-* packages are not registered as
dependencies at all (just too many of them), although you might need them for
proper hyphenation.  E.g. you might want to install package texlive-lang-spanish
for handling spanish documents.
