# docbook_convertToPdfFromXml.sh -- This function transforms DocBook
# files which have set the XML DTD in them.  To produce PDF from
# DocBook XML DTD, we need an XSLT engine (e.g., through `xsltproc'
# command) to produce formatting objects (FO), which then must be
# processed with an FO engine (e.g., through `pdfxmltex' command,
# which uses PassiveTex) to produce the PDF output.
#
# In this configuration and using default configuration settings, I've
# presented the following problems:
#
# 1. Something is wrong with headings. They are not expanded along
# the whole page-body. They seem to be rendered in a reduced width
# (1 inch approximatly). This provokes the heading to be broken in a
# two-to-five letters column and sometimes it overlaps the
# sectioning titles (e.g., chatper, section). I tried to customize
# the value of `header.column.widths' and `page.margin.top' but it
# seems to be not there where I need to touch.
#
# 2. TOC's indentation is not rendered. Even the `toc.indent.width'
# property is set to 24 by default.
#
# 3. Inside lists, when items are more than one line, the
# indentation seems to work for the first line only.  All other
# lines in the same item are not indented and begin completly
# unaligned.
#
# 4. Long file paths near the end of page-body aren't hyphenated.
# Even the `hyphenate' property is set to `true' by default.
#
# In this configuration and using default configuration settings, I've
# presented the following advantages:
#
# 1. It is possible to produce localized PDF outputs through
# `xml2po', the default way of producing localized content inside
# the `centos-art.sh' script.
#
# To make the whole process transparent, a temporal directory is
# created for intermediate works and final files are moved then to
# their final location.
