[Read more]I’ve mentioned a number of times that the documentation repositories that we use to build the docs are freely available, and so they are, but how do you go about using them?
More and more people are getting interested in being able to work with the MySQL docs, judging by the queries we get, and internally we sometimes get specialized requests.
There are some limitations - although you can download and access the docs and generate your own versions in various formats, you are not allowed to distribute or supply that iinformation, it can only be employed for personal use. The reasons and disclaimer for that are available on the main page for each of the docs, such as the one on the 5.1 Manual.
Those issues aside, if you want to use and generate your own docs from the Subversion source tree then you’ll need the following:
Back in July, we made an Eclipse documentation plug-in of the MySQL manuals available for users to download.
In truth, the Eclipse documentation format is actually just HTML; you have to combine the HTML with a plug-in manifest that details the documentation, version number etc so that the documentation is loaded and identified as a valid plug-in element when Eclipse is started.
In chapter the first, I presented a way to
install HTML tidy.
In chapter the second, I created a script to
install the most recent version of tidy with a single
command.
In this chapter, I will show you how to run tidy in a way that
cleans up the HTML that was generated by Office™.
In Chapter the First, we presented a set of commands
you could run to install HTML Tidy on your system.
In this chapter, we will present a script that you may run on
your Linux or OS X system to install the most recent version of
HTML tidy.
You may use subversion, wget, or your favorite browser to
retrieve the most recent version of this tidy installer.
I'm writing a perl script using Commands::Guarded to automate
what I did in the first article.
You may retrieve the source with wget, so:
$ wget -r http://colliertech.org/svn/genDocbook
Or subversion, so:
$ svn co svn://colliertech.org/genDocbook
You may also get the most recent version of the individual files
in the distribution using …
