html-nochunks, and PDF papersize

[Paul W. Frields]

Tammy, if it's not too much trouble, could you also add the following to
the Makefile for people who need single HTML files for whatever reason:

html-nochunks:
        @xmlto html-nochunks $(XMLFILE)

And, just to show my blissful ignorance, can anyone tell me how to get
my PDF's to build as US-letter size instead of A4? I am using FC1 and
simply don't know enough about xmlto or the rest of the DocBook-XML
toolset to figure this out. I've tried a number of things already and
none appear to have any effect.

The paper size is decided by xmlto "magically" by looking at your
locale.  So if you set your locale to one that uses US Letter size
(for example en_US.UTF-8), you should get US Letter size output.

Hmm, my /etc/sysconfig/i18n contains:

  LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

...which also seems to be in my user environment as expected (both $LANG
and $LANGVAR). If I set LC_ALL, this works. Is LANG not appropriate for
taking care of this?

'locale' will tell you what locale LC_PAPER picks up.

I get 'en-US.UTF-8' for everything except LC_ALL.

Sure. That is a reasonable request. I'll do this and rename the
English XML files with the *-en.xml names this weekend.

Cheers,
Tammy

This won't process the existing XSLT. I'll make an XSLT that does no
chunks instead of chunks and then add the target.

Thanks. I did notice the difference, but I thought that was intentional
(i.e. produces a single HTML file with no external
graphics/dependencies, etc.). In retrospect I guess that seems silly.
