2021-07-29 09:50:25 +02:00
from the git repository for the WTF Handbook.
2021-08-05 22:15:18 +02:00

## How to build
2021-08-05 22:15:18 +02:00
### rust based tools mdbook and crowbook

2021-08-05 22:15:18 +02:00
For building you need a rust installation.
This can be achieved by using the installer from https://rustup.rs
After installing the rust toolchain for your platform you have to install the needed tools:
````
cargo install mdbook
cargo install mdbook-epub
cargo install crowbook
````
Crowbook needs xelatex for building the pdf outputs.
### python based - sphinx
First create a Python 3 virtual environment using the venv module included with Python 3.
````
python -m venv py3-sphinx
`````
Now “activate” the environment. Look for the name of the virtual environment enclosed in parenthesis after activation.
`````
source py3-sphinx/bin/activate
``````
Expected Output
`````
(py3-sphinx) $
``````
In the virtual environment install the following modules with pip:
`````
2021-08-05 22:27:25 +02:00
(py3-sphinx) $ pip install sphinx3 sphinxcontrib-plantuml myst-parser
2021-08-05 22:15:18 +02:00
``````
For generating the images from plantuml-sources it needs also [Plantuml](https://plantuml.com/).
For pdf output the latex builder is used, so it needs also an installed latex and pdflatex.
2021-08-05 22:27:25 +02:00
### Running the document generation via make
The top level directory contains a Makefile
For generation with all tools use
`````
make all
`````
For generation with single tool use:
`````
make mdbook [crowbook sphinx]
`````
