+#!/usr/bin/perl -w
+#
+# usage: ldp_print <single_file.html>
+#
+# Creates a PDF variant of a single-file HTML representation of a
+# DocBook SGML (or XML) instance. This simple wrapper assumes that
+# the file was created using {open}jade in a manner similar to:
+#
+# jade -t sgml -i html -V nochunks -d $style $fname > $fname.html
+#
+# Give this script the filename as an argument. It will then parse
+# the file into 'title.html' and 'body.html' and send each to
+# htmldoc (as the corresponding title page and body of the document).
+#
+#
+# CAVEATS:
+#
+# Assumes perl is in /usr/bin; adjust if necessary
+#
+# You may need to specify where the htmldoc executable resides.
+# The script assumes it's within your $PATH.
+#
+# If you want Postscript as an output variant, uncomment the
+# appropriate lines (see below).
+#
+# Relies on output from a DocBook instance created via DSSSL/{open}jade!
+#
+# Cleans up (removes) the intermediate files it creates (but not the
+# PDF or Postscript files, obviously!)
+#
+# Works silently; PDF (PostScript) will be created in the same directory
+# as was specified for the input (single-file HTML) file.
+#
+# Provided without warranty or support!
