This manual is built from XHTML files found in doc/src/manual directory. doc/build.xml uses XSTL to wrap a constent header, navigation and footer into all generated pages.

You might see a <span id="lastmodified"> tag. That's an emacs (w/html helper package installed) recognized tag that updates the last modified date aftering saving. Other editors will have to edit this manually. Don't worry about the time, just the date is sufficient.

If you'd like to create a new page, follow these steps

  1. copy template.html to a file name that make sense for your new page
  2. Edit file according to xhtml specs, place nec. formatting in manual.css
  3. Edit navigation.xml to add your new page to the sidebar, although this is not necessary
  4. run make (or ant in some projects) in doc directory to generate gussied up manual page AND to verify it compiles to xhtml standards.
  5. If you have access to a text based web browser like lynx verify your page displays ok and is readable.
