Documentation files in HTML and man formats are now prepared for
distribution using the distprep make target, like everything else. They
are placed in doc/src/sgml/html and manX and installed from there by
make install, if present. The business with the tarballs in the tarball
is gone.
Set up proper makefile dependencies in the documentation build rules,
especially around the HTML/index build. The problem we've had with all
previous solutions is that we have used the same file name, such as HTML.index
or bookindex.sgml, to mean different things at different stages of the build,
and make can't distinguish that. The solution here is that the first jade run
produces HTML.index, but does not require bookindex.sgml at all, and produces
no other html output (the latter an idea from Alvaro). The second jade run
includes bookindex.sgml, but does not recreate HTML.index. That way, when you
change an sgml file, jade is run twice and at the end all dependencies are
satisfied. Omitting the html output in the first stage also makes the full
build a lot faster.
When you run one of the print format targets, only the first jade run is run,
then the print target-specific commands. If an HTML build has completed
previously, the first jade run is skipped because the dependencies have
already been satisfied.
The draft and check targets for quick builds and syntax verification are still
there.
properly.
Remove SGML docs about openjade performance patch, and instead add
comment in style sheet where indenting code is commented out.
Backpatch to 8.2.X.
Use question marks rather than brackets to delimit optional elements in
Tcl synopses.
Fix stylesheet misfeature leading to excessively long cross-reference text
when linking to a different "part".
Remove <body> attributes -- CSS stylesheets should handle that.
Improve bibliography formatting.
Add fast-forward links for more convenient navigation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).
Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".
Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.
rather than making index.html a symlink to the autogenerated name.
Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks
very well (MacOS X).
(The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make
targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.)
Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.
HTML:
* make .html the default extension
* allow use of CSS stylesheet ("stylesheet.css", not included)
* make <set> TOC two levels deep
* put time of creation into meta header
Print:
* make print output justified by default
* footnotes at bottom of each page
* allow TeX to hyphenate
