daps:convert:html

daps: Convert a DocBook XML file into a single HTML file.
$ daps -d ${filename-xml} html --single
try on your machine

The given command can be broken down as follows:

  • daps is a command-line tool used to generate documentation from XML-based sources.

  • -d is a flag or option of the daps command, which stands for "dry run." This option is used to simulate the execution of the command without actually performing any actions.

  • ${filename-xml} is a placeholder for the input filename. It suggests that the actual filename should be substituted in place of ${filename-xml}. The specified filename should be an XML file.

  • html is a target format specified after the input filename. It indicates that the output should be generated in HTML format.

  • --single is an additional option indicating that the output should be generated as a single HTML file, instead of multiple files or a documentation set.

So, the overall meaning of the command is to simulate the generation of HTML documentation from an XML source file called ${filename-xml}, with the output being a single HTML file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
