Package: docbook-utils
Version: 0.6.14-1
When running docbook2txt on a DocBook sgml file, the resulting output is html
instead of txt. There was no error or any mention of why this was happening.
I was confused as to why this was happening, and then I noticed in the
docbook2{pdf,txt,html,etc.} man page:
This utility assumes that several other components are installed. The
list includes:
...
ยท Lynx HTML browser (for the txt backend)
I checked my system to see if lynx was installed, and it was not. I did an
`apt-get install lynx`, ran the exact same docbook2txt command, and the output
was text - Problem solved.
I assume from the dependencies below, it means that lynx or links or w3m can be
installed to satisfy the dependency. If that's correct, then I think lynx
should be a requirement.
