## Synopsis

    meinproc6

    -h, --help
    -v, --version
    --cache file
    --check

    -o
    --output

     file

    --stdout
    --stylesheet xsl
    docbook_file

## Description

`meinproc6` converts DocBook files to &HTML;.

## Generic Options

`-h``--help`

- Show help about options.

`-v``--version`

- Show version information.

## Application Options

`--cache` `file`

- Create a cache file for the document.

`--check`

- Check the document for validity.

      The output can be a bit daunting, since one small mistake can cause a cascade of errors.
      The trick is to look at the first error, fix that error, save the file, and run meinproc6 again.

`-o`, `--output` `file`

- Output whole document to `file`.

`--stdout`

- Output whole document to stdout.

`--stylesheet` `xsl`

- Stylesheet to use.

`--srcdir` `dir`

- Set the root directory to look for kdoctools.

`--param` key=value

- Set parameters to pass to the stylesheet.

## Usage

The most common way to run `meinproc6` is simply as

    meinproc6 docbook-file

where `docbook-file` is usually index.docbook. This command creates &HTML; pages from the DocBook file. Note that these pages are only viewable in &kde;-based browsers (like &konqueror;).

If you need to view the &HTML; output in another browser (for example, if you're placing it on line), use

    meinproc6 --stylesheet stylesheet-name docbook-file

where `stylesheet-name` is the full path to one of the &XSL; stylesheets in <kdoctools_installation_prefix>/share/kf5/kdoctools/customization/. To produce output suitable for the web, you can use `kde-web.xsl` or `kde-chunk-online.xsl`. See the `README` file in that directory for more details.
