The problem on pre-splitting the documents and process them in separate is that this will break cross-references. At the media uAPI Docbook, we use a lot of cross references. Btw, we use a lot of includes. Currently, it has 187 separate files. We even parse the header files looking for typedefs, structs, enums, #defines and functions, in order to produce a document that will cross-reference the documentation. > Second, there is a custom converter in the works to split post-generate > (which is really what we're talking about when we compare it to the DocBook > toolchain). > > https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/multipage-html5-converter.rb > > It's just a prototype, but proves it is possible by design. I didn't test it, but I saw some comments at the web that the part that would handle cross-references between files is not ready. > Personally, I don't like most chunked HTML approaches because they split > arbitrarily.

Well, if it is capable of creating one chunk per include file, and do cross-references between chunks, this would work for media UAPI book. Yet, it would be good to have the multi-chunk extension packaged on major distros, as I don't like the idea of installing it without using my distro's package manager. -- Thanks, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
