# About 

This project is an experiment of how to generate the WTF handbook in various output formats (HTML, epub and pdf) from the [https://git.wtf-eg.de/wtf-eg/handbuch-gen](git repository for the WTF handbook). The handbuch sources are included as git submodule.

This repository contains the [https://www.sphinx-doc.org/](Sphinx) configuration and a Sphinx theme adapted for the [https://git.wtf-eg.de/ag_kommunikation/wtf_propaganda](corporate identity of WTF cooperation).


# How to build

### Checkout with submodules

This repository accesses the required WTF handbook's content as a git submodule. Therefore, make sure to check out this repository including its submodule:

```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.wtf-eg.de/wtf-eg/handbuch-gen.git
```

### Python based dependencies

In order to generate the documentation, first create a Python 3 virtual environment using the `venv` module included in Python 3:

1. Create a virtual Python environment in the directory `venv`: ```python3 -m venv venv```
1. Activate the virtual Python environment: ```source venv/bin/activate```
1. Install the packages listed in [./requirements.txt](requirements.txt) using `pip`: ```pip install -r requirements.txt```

### Other dependencies

For generating the images from PlantUML sources (`*.plantuml`), [Plantuml](https://plantuml.com/) is required.
For pdf output the latex builder is used, so latex and pdflatex need to be installed.

### Running the document generation via make

The top level directory contains a Makefile, for generation with all output formats use

`````
make bundle
`````

The output files of the final handbook can be found in the subfolder `./bundle`.

All generated intermediate artifacts and the final output files can be found in the `./build` subfolder.
