Building documentation

You can view the documentation online at http://lilypond.org/doc/, but you can also build it locally. This process requires a successful compile of lilypond, and some additional tools and packages

The documentation is built by issuing

     make web

After compilation, the HTML documentation tree is available in out-www/offline-root/, and can be browsed locally.

The HTML and PDF files can be installed into the standard documentation path by issuing

     make out=www web-install

It is also possible to build a documentation tree in out-www/online-root/, with special processing, so it can be used on a website with content negociation for automatic language selection; this can be achieved by issuing

     make WEB_TARGETS=online web

and both ‘offline’ and ‘online’ targets can be generated by issuing

     make WEB_TARGETS="offline online" web
