Rudder User Documentation is written using the asciidoc formatting language, and includes graphviz schemas. To build the documentation, you need following software:
- Python
-
http://python.org to use asciidoc
- Asciidoc
-
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/ to build HTML and PDF outputs. To keep control on the asciidoc behaviour after changes in the way asciidoc handles the themes and stylesheets, a copy of asciidoc is distributed with the documentation (issue #2173).
- Docbook
-
http://docbook.org/ to build PDF output. Version 0.3.2-1 or superior.
- Dblatex
-
http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/ to build PDF output.
- Graphviz
-
http://www.graphviz.org/ to build SVG schemas.
- Inkscape
-
http://inkcape.org to convert SVG for PDF output.
- ImageMagick
-
http://www.imagemagick.org/ to normalize the resolution of illustrations.
apt-get install python docbook dblatex graphviz inkscape imagemagick
yum install docbook-utils inkscape ImageMagick
