* Introduction
This file contains brief information about installing and configuring
Imprimatur. It is *not* intended as a replacement for the
documentation, and is provided as a brief reference only.
The complete documentation in Texinfo format is included. To build
it, change to the imprimatur subdirectory and run `makeinfo
imprimatur'.
Complete documentation in various formats is available online from the
following URL:
http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/imprimatur/manual
* Overview
Imprimatur provides Texinfo macros for various editing tasks such as
adding editor notes and annotations, as well as makeinfo rules for
verifying texinfo document structure, format, and (to a certain
extent) content coverage.
In particular, it provides a mechanism for verifying whether the
entities, such as command line options, configuration file statements,
library functions, and the like, which are defined in a set of source
files are also described in the Texinfo document.
* Installation
To use Imprimatur in your project, follow these steps:
** Import the package as a submodule
This needs to be done only once:
git submodule add git://git.gnu.org.ua/imprimatur.git imprimatur
git submodule init
The `submodule add' command takes two arguments: the submodule
repository, which should be exactly as shown above, and the pathname
of the cloned submodule in your project. This latter is entirely at
your option. Throughout this document we will suppose that the module
pathname is `imprimatur'. You will need to adjust the examples if you chose
another name for it.
** Edit the toplevel Makefile.am
Add `-I imprimatur' to the ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS variable, and `imprimatur'
to the SUBDIRS variable. For example:
ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 -I imprimatur
SUBDIRS = imprimatur
** Edit the configure.ac file
Add a call to IMPRIMATUR_INIT. Normally no parameters are needed.
However, if you cloned Imprimatur into a directory with another name,
the actual directory name must be supplied as the first argument. For
example, if you used this submodule command
git submodule add git://git.gnu.org.ua/imprimatur.git somedir
then use
IMPRIMATUR_INIT(somedir)
in your configure.ac
** Edit Makefile.am in your doc subdirectory
Apply the following changes to the Makefile.am located in the
subdirectory where you have your Texinfo sources:
1. To AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS add @IMPRIMATUR_MAKEINFOFLAGS@
2. Define the variable `imprimatur_INPUT'. It must contain the
names of Texinfo sources to be verified by Imprimatur. Normally,
the following definition is sufficient:
imprimatur_INPUT=$(info_TEXINFOS) $(<BASE>_TEXINFOS)
where <BASE> stands for the base name of your Texinfo document (e.g.
"foo", if it is named "foo.texi").
3. Include imprimatur.mk using relative addressing. For example, if
your documentation subdirectory is located at the same nesting level
as the directory you cloned Imprimatur to, use:
include ../imprimatur/imprimatur.mk
Do not use Automake substitutions nor Makefile variables in the
argument to include.
4. If you plan to use the `check-docs.sh' script, define the following
variable:
CHECK_DOCS=$(top_srcdir)/@IMPRIMATUR_MODULE_DIR@/check-docs.sh
For example:
AM_MAKEINFOFLAGS = @IMPRIMATUR_MAKEINFOFLAGS@
imprimatur_INPUT=$(info_TEXINFOS) $(foo_TEXINFOS)
include ../imprimatur/imprimatur.mk
CHECK_DOCS=$(top_srcdir)/@IMPRIMATUR_MODULE_DIR@/check-docs.sh
** Include `rendition.texi' into your main Texinfo source.
