This part of dev-intro.txt doesn't work on AsciiDoc 7.1.2:
.Overview of the hierarchy of the various subsystems. At the bottom are \
subsystems that provide functionality used by the upper layers.
AsciiDoc treats only the first line as the title and includes the
backslash in the XHTML output. It looks like the only way to fix
dev-intro.txt is to merge the lines into one, but this would both make
the source ugly and somehow generate "Example:" at the beginning of
the title. Because doc/Makefile does not currently run AsciiDoc on
dev-intro.txt, I'm leaving this part unchanged.
This changes the init target to be idempotent: most importantly it will now
never overwrite a Makefile if it exists. Additionally 'make init' will
generate the .vimrc files. Yay, no more stupid 'added fairies' commits! ;)
This simplifies help2doc since it now just have to do one single thing with
output of either --config-help or --long-help. The new manpage is not as
fancy wrt. indentation and sub titles but it is more uniform and we get a
HTML version.
Generate options-{config,command}.txt with help2doc. Only conditionally
check for API header files, to speed up execusion.
You can now use: make {all-docs,pdf,html,man,api,update-man}
instead of: make {all-docs,pdf-docs,html-docs,man-docs}
Away is building into separate dirs. This makes make able to actually get
dependencies right, since there are now a collection of 'common' build
rules, some of which have even been moved to use the cmd infrastructure.
To update the man pages there is a new update-man rule. It builds the
manual pages and copies them to their proper place under man/ while doing
the final preformatting.
As good thing is that the (two) man pages are moved to .txt files and
include the generated content.
The API building thing is also refined. It builds into api/ and builds it's
list of files dynamically by searching throught the .h files in the src/
directory. Documented header files must contain a comment like this:
/* API Doc :: <api-name> */
where <api-name> is the name used for the file under api/, for example
dom-scanner.
