3.7. Generating all distributed books

Preparing Cogent Documentation :
	Chapter 3. Creating Output from doc/o/

Once a book has been updated and its output has been checked, it should go into the online documentation, and into the distribution. The first step in this process is to generate a new copy of all the distributed books, including the HTML and QNX 4 and 6 Helpviewer versions of the Cogent Documentation book set, as well as individual PDF files for each book.

This can be done in one step from the doc/o/ directory. Just cd to that directory and type:

[sh]$ make most

The doc/o/Makefile will automatically build the documents you need.

To speed processing time, the makefile target most doesn't make the HTML files two times, like the all target, which is done to ensure that a proper index file has been created. The assumption here is that you have been working on that book, and have done several (or many) make html commands already to check your work. That would be sufficient to create the correct index, because the index only changes when whole pages or sections are added. If in doubt, you can do one more make html command in the book's subdirectory before giving the make most command in the doc/o/ directory.
