Building Frhed Manual

New Docbook Manual

The new Docbook based manual is in works. Basically we are converting current manual which is one big HTML file to several smaller Docbook files. From DocBook we can later generate both HTML manual (for the Web) and the CHM manual for the local installation.

New manual's files are in folder Docs/Users/Manual/.

Our manual build system is based on Java and Saxon

Our manual build system uses the following tools:

There is a tool package created for building the manual. Download the tool package from our manual build tools package v1 (it includes all required tools except of Java) and unzip it to the build subdirectory at the Manual directory.

The batch files are also located at the build subdirectory at the Manual directory. The main file ist build.bat. Paths to the installed tools are written in the configuration.bat file.

build.bat html or build_html.bat
Creates the HTML files under the html subdirectory at the build directory.
build.bat htmlhelp or
build_htmlhelp.bat
Creates the CHM file under the htmlhelp subdirectory at the build directory.
build.bat
Is the same like build.bat html.
