Building documentation
----------------------
Documentation is built when you run `make doc`.
(On old versions of cmake it is always built, use `cmake -DBUILD_DOCS=OFF` to
prevent it being built.)
You need the following tools to build the documentation:
* asciidoc (8.6.8) for HTML book and man pages
* dblatex (0.3.6) for PDF book.
The versions above are known to work, earlier versions may or may not.
Writing documentation
---------------------
Documentation is written in asciidoc markup. Sub-directories:
* 'book/': Asciidoc source for the user guide.
* 'man/': Asciidoc source for Unix man pages.
* 'notes': Developer notes: project information, design notes, or::
anything else that's primarily of developer interest. These are not
installed.
Some book chapters are generated by python scripts rather than being text
files. For example `schema.adoc` is generated by `schema_txt.py` from the
documentation strings in the management schema `qdrouterd.json`.
