+ +
+ Utilities to prepare XML files +
+ Create XML files from code +

+ If there are EDoc comments in a module, the escript xml_from_edoc.escript + can be used to generate an XML file according to the erlref DTD + for this module. +

+

+ Example: +

+ + + 1> escript $(ERL_TOP)/lib/erl_docgen/priv/bin/xml_from_edoc.escript ex1.erl + +
+
+ Include code in XML +

If there are OTP DTD codeinclude tags in the source XML file, the escript + codeline_preprocessing.escript can be used to include the code and produce + an XML file according to the OTP DTDs. +

+

+ Example: +

+ + + 1> escript $(ERL_TOP)/lib/erl_docgen/priv/bin/codeline_preprocessing.escript ex1.xmlsrc ex1.xml + +
+
+ +
+ Use xsltproc to generate different output formats + +
+ Parameters used in all the the XSL transformations +

+ These parameters to xsltproc are used for all the supported output formats. +

+ + docgen + + Path to erl_docgen's top directory. + + gendate + + The date string that will be used in the documentation. + + appname + + The name of the application.> + + appver + + The version of the application. + + +
+ +
+ Generate HTML output +

+ When generating HTML one also needs these three pramaters to xsltproc. +

+ + outdir + + Output directory for the produced html files. + + topdocdir + + If one builds a standalone documentation for an application this should be set to ".". + + pdfdir + + Relative path from the html directory to where the pdf file are placed. + + +

+ Example: +

+ + + 1> xsltproc --noout --stringparam outdir /tmp/myhtmldoc \ + --stringparam docgen $(ERL_TOP)/lib/erl_docgen \ + --stringparam topdocdir . \ + --stringparam pdfdir "$(PDFDIR)" \ + --xinclude \ + --stringparam gendate "December 5 2011" \ + --stringparam appname MyApp \ + --stringparam appver 0.1 \ + -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd \ + -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd_html_entities \ + $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/xsl/db_html.xsl mybook.xml + +
+ +
+ Generate PDF +

+ The generation of the PDF file is done in two steps. First is xsltproc used to generate a .fo file + which is used as input to the fop command to produce th PDF file. +

+

+ Example: +

+ + + 1> xsltproc --output MyApp.fo \ + --stringparam docgen $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen \ + --stringparam gendate "December 5 2011" \ + --stringparam appname MyApp \ + --stringparam appver 0.1 \ + --xinclude \ + -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd \ + -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd_html_entities \ + $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/xsl/db_pdf.xsl mybook.xml + + + 2> fop -fo MyApp.fo -pdf MyApp.pdf + +
+ +
+ Generate man pages +

+ Unix man pages can be generated with xsltproc from XML files written according to + the different OTP ref type DTDs. +

+

+ Example: +

+ + + 1> xsltproc --output my_module.3\ + --stringparam docgen $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen \ + --stringparam gendate "December 5 2011" \ + --stringparam appname MyApp \ + --stringparam appver 0.1 \ + --xinclude -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd \ + -path $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/dtd_man_entities \ + $ERL_TOP/lib/erl_docgen/priv/xsl/db_man.xsl my_refpage.xml + +
+ +
+ Upcomming changes +

+ The output from the erl_docgen documentation build process is now just the OTP style. + But in a near future we will for example add the possibility to change logo, color in the PDF and + style sheet for the HTML. +
