The PDF built in this project uses AsciiDoctor (Ruby). For more information on AsciiDoctor, specification guidelines, or building locally, see the RISC-V Documentation Developer Guide.

Cloning the project

This project uses GitHub Submodules to include the RISC-V docs-resources project to achieve a common look and feel.

When cloning this repository for the first time, you must either use git clone --recurse-submodules or execute git submodule init and git submodule update after the clone to populate the docs-resources directory. Failure to clone the submodule, will result in the PDF build fail with an error message like the following:

$ make
asciidoctor-pdf \
-a toc \
-a compress \
-a pdf-style=docs-resources/themes/riscv-pdf.yml \
-a pdf-fontsdir=docs-resources/fonts \
--failure-level=ERROR \
-o profiles.pdf profiles.adoc
asciidoctor: ERROR: could not locate or load the built-in pdf theme `docs-resources/themes/riscv-pdf.yml'; reverting to default theme

  Use --trace for backtrace
