This document is a user's guide to the LinuxDoc-Tools formatting system, a SGML-based system which allows you to produce a variety of output formats. You can create plain text output (ASCII, ISO-8859-1, and EUC-JP), DVI, PostScript, PDF, HTML, GNU info, LyX, and RTF output from a single document source file. LinuxDoc-Tools is a new branch from SGML-Tools 1.0.9, and an descendant of the original LinuxDoc-SGML.
