[RFC/PATCH] Add support for a pdf version of the user manual

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Use dblatex in order to create a pdf version of the git user manual.  No
existing Makefile targets (including "all") are touched, so you need to
explicitly say

make pdf
sudo make install-pdf

to get user-manual.pdf created and installed.

Hi,

It turns out that people prefer reading long documents (such as the User
Manual) in a pdf reader, rather then in a web browser. This patch makes
them happy.

I marked it RFC as I'm not sure if using the asciidoc dblatex sty and
xsl file is a good idea or not.

(Oh and because we are in the rc period and this is not a bugfix.)

The other (info/man/html) formats do not make use of the config files in
/etc/asciidoc, so maybe it would be better to just copy them in the
Documentation dir. OTOH I did not want to cause a duplication without a
good reason.

Opinions?

Thanks.
