Hi Sam, "make clean" cleans DocBook generated files, but I would like a way to clean _only_ those generated files. Something like the patch below, except that it doesn't work. :( Can you give me ideas of how to fix it, please? Thanks, --- ~Randy From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx> Add a 'make cleandocs' target to clean up all generated DocBook files.
