ABOUT
=====
-gnome-doc-utils is a collection of documentation utilities for the Gnome
-project. Notably, it contains utilities for building documentation and
-all auxiliary files in your source tree, and it contains the DocBook
-XSLT stylesheets that were once distributed with Yelp. Starting with
-Gnome 2.8, Yelp will require gnome-doc-utils for the XSLT.
+yelp-tools is a collection of scripts and build utilities to help create,
+manage, and publish documentation for Yelp and the web. Most of the heavy
+lifting is done by packages like yelp-xsl and itstool. This package just
+wraps things up in a developer-friendly way.
+
ORGANIZATION
============
-test/
- The test directory contains a number of tests for gnome-doc-utils.
- Directories of the form testdocn, where n is a positive integer,
- are skeleton source trees containing documentation, with the same
- layout that would be used by actual projects.
-
- The testdocs directory contains the unit tests from docbook-testdocs,
- developed by Norm and Co. for the pan-galactic DocBook stylesheets.
- An additional README file is in that directory, giving instructions
- on extending or changing any of the files in gnome-doc-utils CVS.
-
-doc/
- The doc directory contains documentation for gnome-doc-utils. In
- most cases, gnome-doc-utils is required to build its documentation.
- Mechanisms are in place for bootstrapping.
+tools/
+ The tools directory contains scripts like yelp-build and yelp-check,
+ as well as the yelp.m4 file that provides autotools integration.
xslt/
- The xslt directory contains all of the XSLT in gnome-doc-utils.
- Notably, the xslt/docbook directory contains the DocBook XSLT,
- and xslt/gettext contains the XSLT gettext utility for translating
- automatic text.
-
-sandbox/
- The sandbox directory is not DISTed, so it will only appear if you
- have a CVS checkout. It's a playground for new ideas.
-
-xml2po/
- The xml2po directory contains the xml2po tool developed by Danilo
- Segan for translation of arbitrary XML formats. It is used by
- gnome-doc-utils for DocBook translation.
-
-TESTING
-=======
-Under the test directory are a number of tests for gnome-doc-utils. To
-test the build system (gnome-doc-utils.m4 and gnome-doc-utils.make), you
-can use any of the testdocn (for n a positive integer) directories. These
-are set up as skeleton source trees, behaving exactly as a real project
-would. Also, gnome-doc-utils uses itself to build its own documentation
-(under doc), so gnome-doc-utils itself is a test of the build tools.
-
-To test the DocBook stylesheets, use the test/testdocs directory. These
-unit tests are from the docbook-testdocs package on docbook.sourceforge.net,
-developed by Norm and Co. Simply typing make in that directory will build
-each test. If the name of the test file is foo.001.xml, the output will be
-html/foo.001/foo.001.html. Each test generally tests a small number of
-related DocBook elements. Many of the features of DocBook or of the XSLT
-in gnome-doc-utils might not be tested by these. Additional tests may
-be added; follow the instructions in test/testdocs/README for that.
-
-Also useful for testing the XSLT is to transform some large documents
-using it. The Gnome User Guide and the Gnumeric Manual both serve as
-excellent test docs.
-
-HACKING
-=======
-Unlike most C programming, working on much of gnome-doc-utils really does
-involve isolated incremental improvements. There's no way to give a short
-list of broad features in a TODO list.
-
-To work on the build tools (gnome-doc-utils.m4 and gnome-doc-utils.make),
-build the test docs and see what doesn't work. gnome-doc-utils.make has
-a list of all the high-level targets that should be fully supported.
-
-To work on the DocBook XSLT, find an element that isn't implemented yet and
-implement it. If you have XML Starlet (xmlstar.sourceforge.net) installed,
-you can type 'make report.html' in the xslt/docbook/html directory to get
-a nice HTML report on what elements are implemented. There is also a TODO
-file in this directory with a very succinct list of matches that need to be
-done that can't be caught by report.html.
-
-Note that the XSLT is documented inline with xsldoc, which is itself a part
-of gnome-doc-utils. Feel free to work on xsldoc as well. The documentation
-generated by xsldoc is included in the manual under doc/xslt.
-
-When in doubt, talk to Shaun McCance <shaunm gnome org>. Never commit without
-permission, unless Shaun has told you otherwise. Wash behind your ears. Don't
-take candy from strangers. Support independant musicicians.
-
-
+ The xslt directory contains small utility XSLT files that are used
+ by the various scripts shipped with yelp-tools. These stylesheets
+ are not intended to be built upon.
