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
