Creation of a pdf/html version of the manual
[[Category:Translators/Categories]][[Category:Developers/General]]
Every now and then, the manual on the gramps-project website should be updated. This page explains how to create this manual. Information on how to do the translation is in [[Translating the manual]]. Part of this text is already automized via Makefiles by typing in the <code>help</code> directory <code>make html</code>. The reason of this page is so people would understand why Makefiles do what they do, or to generate the manuals outside of the build system.
From GRAMPS '''Version 3.0:''' In the upcoming version GRAMPS 3.0, we want to move moved towards a community driven manual, the [[Gramps 3.0 Wiki Manual]]. To generate a html/pdf/docbook manual from this, [[Manual Generation 3.0|a new strategy must be followed]]
==Get latest version==
See [[Translating the manual]]. You should have the SVN version locally. Obtain latest version of the translations with <code>svn up</code>. Now do <code>make</code> to generate the manual in all supported languages.
The directory <code>help</code>should now contain all manuals, the standard english one in <code>help/C/gramps.xml</code>. At the time of writing, manuals are available for locales:
* C (English) -- basis of other translations
* fr (French) -- complete
