Building Documentation
----------------------

If you want to generate HTML or PDF from the files in this repository, perform
the following tasks:

  * Make sure that you have Java and ANT.

  * Create environment variables for DOC_HOME (path to the euca/content/ directory
    is), DITA_HOME (path to the euca/tools/DITA-OT directory), JAVA_HOME, and
    ANT_HOME.

  * In the build.properties file for the guide you want to build, change the
    pdf.formatter value from xep to fop:

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    pdf.formatter=fop
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  * Run the shell script DITA-OT/startcmd.sh (or startcmd.bat in Windows) to set
    up the necessary environment variables.

  * In the same shell window, change directories to the directory you want to
    generate documentation for.

  * Enter ant and the type of output you want (pdf or xhtml):

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ant pdf
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
