I have extracted some routines from the current AC-Archive website engine (implemented in Python) to work standalone on a single macro (or small number of macros if you like). Given a macro ax_example.m4 you can now say > ac_archive_macro_to_html ax_example.m4 which creates the output file ax_example.html as it would be presented at ac-archive.sf.net Additionally I have turned that into a CGI script at http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/doc/contribute.html where you can test the macro submission format and how it would like to be formatted at the AC-Archive. Have fun with it, * Unix Manpage Generation A long while back I decided to render the AC-Archive macros also as docbook xml files. Using "xmlto" one can create unix manpages for each single autoconf macro in the AC-Archive. A complete man7/* tarball can be downloaded directly from the website at http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/doc/introduction.html Using that locally, you would say > ac_archive_macro_to_docbook ax_example.m4 # creates a file ax_example.docbook > xmlto man ax_example.docbook # creates a file ax_example.7 > man -l ax_example.7 * -tools.rpm All these tools are now installed as a separate rpm ac-archive-tools-2007.0205-0000.noarch.rpm If you do download the source tarball from the http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32081 then you would say > make install-tools That does also install a tool to rebuild any other autoconf repository named ac_archive_gendocs and a combined tool for html/docbook that prints to stdout named just macro_to, i.e. > ac_archive_macro_to xml ax_example.m4 Please test, and have fun, -- Guido _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
