It contains a copy of the XSLT and XML I use to -generate the HTML documentation. - -The current version of these files can be obtained from the dlib GitHub -repository at: https://github.com/davisking/dlib - -======================== Overview ======================== - -I write all my documentation in XML files. If you look through the files in -the docs folder you will see each of them. There is also a stylesheet.xsl -file which contains all the XSLT I wrote to transform XML files into HTML. -Anyway, I use that stylesheet to generate the dlib documentation from those -XML files. - -There is also a stylesheet inside the docs/chm folder (htmlhelp_stylesheet.xsl) -that knows how to look at the XML files and generate the table of contents -files needed by the htmlhelp tool (the thing that makes chm help files). - -Also note that the first 80 or so lines of the stylesheet.xsl file contains -stuff specific to the dlib project and thus should be changed or removed -as appropriate if you want to reuse it for a different project. - -======================== Installing the required tools ======================== - -To begin with, the XML and XSLT is usable on any operating system, however, -all the scripts I have in the docs folder that automate everything are bash -shell scripts. I also use stuff like wine and other Linux tools and I have -only ever tested any of this in Debian. So if you want to use all the scripts -then you should probably run this stuff in Linux. But if not you can probably -hack something together :) - -There are four scripts in the docs folder. - - - testenv_rel: This script tests your environment for all the needed utilities. - Run it and it should tell you what else you need to install. - Note that the htmlify utility is something I wrote and is in - dlib's repository in the tools/htmlify folder. You should - build and install it. (go into that folder, make a subfolder - called build, then cd into build and say: "cmake ..; make; - sudo make install". You will need to install cmake if you - don't have it already) - - - makedocs: This remakes all the HTML documentation by pulling files out - of the dlib repository. If you want to use this stuff for your - own projects you will need to edit this file a bit. - - Note that this script puts its output in the docs/web and - docs/chm/docs folders. I use the chm folder for off-line - documentation while the web folder contains what goes onto - dlib.net. Both sets of HTML are generated from the same XML - files and are mostly the same. You will see <chm></chm> and - <web></web> tags inside the XML though in cases where the two - differ. - - - makerel: Runs makedocs as well as creates tar and zip files of the project. - It also runs htmlhelp in wine to generate the chm help files. - Note that you will need to run docs/chm/htmlhelp/setup_htmlhelp.sh - before it will work in wine. - - -======================== License for documentation files ======================== - -To the extent possible under law, Davis E King has waived all copyright and -related or neighboring rights to dlib documentation (XML, HTML, and XSLT files). -This work is published from United States. - -That is, I (Davis the author) don't care what you do with this. So do -whatever you want :) - - - |
