1 The documentation and its translations reside in subdirectories.
2 When building the documentation, the toplevel Makefile goes into
3 the subdirectories listed in the SUBDIRS variable and executes make
4 in each of those directories to create the HTML documentation
5 in subdirectories of the 'HTML' and 'HTML-single' directories.
7 IMPORTANT: Do NOT place sensitive files under 'HTML' or 'HTML-single'!
8 It is for generated documentation only.
9 The whole directory tree is wiped out by the Makefile
10 when running 'make distclean' or 'make clean'.
11 Also, subdirectories are wiped out one by one before
12 creating the HTML files.
14 Each subdirectory must have a Makefile. Its purpose is to include
15 the toplevel Makefile.inc file (with the rules to build the docs)
16 and add dependency information to the main target, $(HTMLDIR)/index.html.
17 The main target usually depends on all the XML and XSL files in the
18 subdirectory. (Note that the toplevel *.xsl files are added automatically
19 by Makefile.inc, so you do not have to list them.)
22 Adding new translations
23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
25 1) Create a new subdirectory and copy the XML files there. main.xml must not be
26 copied, it is autogenerated.
28 2) Make sure to create a 'Makefile' for the translation -- you can
29 use 'en/Makefile' as an example.
31 3) If you want to use a customized XSL stylesheet, create one and name it
32 'html-common.xsl'. Also create two additional XSL stylesheets
33 ('html-single.xsl' and 'html-chunk.xsl'), with content such as this:
37 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
38 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
41 <xsl:import href="../html-single.xsl"/>
42 <xsl:include href="html-common.xsl"/>
48 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
49 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
52 <xsl:import href="../html-chunk.xsl"/>
53 <xsl:include href="html-common.xsl"/>
58 Note: You mustn't xsl:include or xsl:import chunk.xsl directly!
59 Including it can (and will) break building of documentation if chunk.xsl
60 is installed at a nonstandard location.
62 4) If you wish to change the output encoding of generated files, create
63 html-common.xsl as suggested in step 4) and add strings such as these
64 somewhere between the <xsl:stylesheet ...> and </xsl:stylesheet> tags
65 (please, pay attention to quotes):
67 <xsl:param name="chunker.output.encoding" select="'your_encoding'"/>
68 <xsl:output encoding="your_encoding"/>
70 5) If you are using your own HTML stylesheet, edit your Makefile and set
71 the HTML_STYLESHEET variable to its name. Please, don't call your HTML
72 stylesheet 'default.css'.
74 6) In each translated file after the <?xml ... ?> tag you must put a note
75 like <!-- synced with r2 -->, where 2 is the revision of corresponding
76 English file (see comment at the top of file).
78 7) While your translation isn't finished, you can change USE_SYMLINKS
79 to "yes" in your Makefile. This will help you testing your translation:
80 English files will be used instead of untranslated ones, when generating
83 That's all, in theory.
