To be moved to an appropriate section of "how to write documentation" or "how to contribute to the documentation": 1. When writing documentation, please use gender-neutral wording when referring to people, such as singular “they”, “their”, “them”, and so forth. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they 2. Keep line length below 74 characters. - Expection by texi2pdf output so far: URLs will break (inserted whitespace) when they contain linebreaks within the @url{} / @uref{}. 3. Do not use tab characters (see chapter 2.1 texinfo manual) 4. Use neutral language and third person perspective in the text 4.1 So, when you refer to a user in general or addressing the user, refer to (1). 4.1.1 Unsolved exceptions for canonical reasons: When refering to Alice, use "she". When refering to Bob, use "he". These are long established examples and they should either be replaced (avoid Alice and Bob examples when you can) or followed. 5. Use 2 spaces between sentences, so instead of: We do this and the other thing. This is done by foo. Write: We do this and the other thing. This is done by foo. 6. Use @footnote{} instead of putting an @*ref{} to the footnote on a collected footnote-page. In a 200+ pages handbook it's better to have footnotes accessible without having to skip over to the end. 6.1 Avoid unnecessary footnotes, keep the text self-explanatory and in a simple language where possible/necessary. * Completion Levels: ** chapters/philosophy: around 100% fixed after initial export. * What's left to do - Which Texlive modules are needed? Decrease the size. - distro specific, or can we set requirements? - Update the content of gnunet documentation. - XXX: images are only generated for the html documentation with gendoc.sh … FIXME! - XXX: png,dot, and svg images MUST be converted to eps by the build system. Right now they aren't, as a result: No images. * How to use (hack) on this ** with guix Adjust accordingly, ie read the Guix Documentation: setenv GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH "gnunet/contrib/packages/guix/packages" guix environment gnunet-doc and guix build -f contrib/packages/guix/gnunet-doc.scm ** without guix You need to have Texinfo and Texlive in your path. sh bootstrap ./configure --enable-documentation cd doc make (format you want) for example: make html, make info, make pdf * structure (relations) ** gnunet.texi -> chapters/developer.texi -> chapters/installation.texi -> chapters/philosophy.texi -> chapters/user.texi -> chapters/vocabulary.texi -> images/* -> gpl-3.0.texi -> fdl-1.3.texi ** gnunet-c-tutorial.texi -> figs/Service.pdf -> figs/System.pdf -> tutorial-examples/*.c -> gpl-3.0.texi -> fdl-1.3.texi - gnunet-c-tutorial-v1.pdf: original LaTeX "gnunet-c-tutorial.pdf". - man folder: the man pages. - doxygen folder - outdated-and-old-installation-instructions.txt: self described within the file. Use `gendocs', add to the manual/ directory of the web site. $ cd doc $ gendocs.sh gnunet "GNUnet 0.10.X Reference Manual"
