| 40 | and an images subdirectory. The 4 XML files correspond to the 4 Greenstone
|
|---|
| 41 | manuals: Develop's manual, Installer's manual, User's manual, and From Paper to

| 84 | <h2>File structure</h2>
|
|---|
| 85 | <p>When generate HTML files and PDF files without using the shell scripts, you should:
|
|---|
| 86 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 87 | <li>First create a <tt>build</tt> subdirectory here if there isn't one.</li>
|
|---|
| 88 | <li>For each language, create a subdirectory with the language code (eg. en, fr, es, ru) as the name of the directory, if there isn't one.</li>
|
|---|
| 89 | <li>cd to the appropriate direcotry, copy the <tt>images</tt> folder and the <tt>style.css</tt> file here</li>
|
|---|
| 90 | <li>Create a <tt>HTML</tt> and a <tt>PDF</tt> subdirectory for the generated HTML and PDF files.</li>
|
|---|
| 91 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 92 | <p>If you use the shell scripts, they will create the subdirectories for you.</p>
|
|---|
| 93 | <p>The file structure of the <tt>build</tt> directory is like this:</p>
|
|---|
| 94 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 95 | --manuals
|
|---|
| 96 | --build
|
|---|
| 97 | --<i>language-code</i>
|
|---|
| 98 | --html
|
|---|
| 99 | (all the generated html files go here)
|
|---|
| 100 | --pdf
|
|---|
| 101 | (all the generated pdf files go here)
|
|---|
| 102 | --images
|
|---|
| 103 | style.css
|
|---|
| 104 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | <a name="include-gli-help"/>
|
|---|
| 107 | <h2>Including the GLI Help in User Guide</h2>
|
|---|
| 108 | <p>The "Librarian Interface user guide" section in the User's Guide manual is generated from the GLI Help, so when GLI Help was updated, this section needs to be regenerated to an XML file under xml-source/language directory. To regenerate the XML file,</p>
|
|---|
| 109 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 110 | <li>Go to the Greenstone installation directory and run <code>source setup.bash</code></li>
|
|---|
| 111 | <li>Go to the <code>gsdl-documentation/shared</code> directory, run <br/>
|
|---|
| 112 | <code>java ApplyXSLT ../manuals/processing/gen-gli-help-to-manual-chapter.xsl $GSDLHOME/gli/help/{lang}/help.xml > ../manuals/xml-source/{lang}/help-{lang}.xml</code>
|
|---|
| 113 | <p>replace <code>{lang}</code> with a specific language code, for example:</p>
|
|---|
| 114 | <code>java ApplyXSLT ../manuals/processing/gen-gli-help-to-manual-chapter.xsl $GSDLHOME/gli/help/en/help.xml > ../manuals/xml-source/en/help-en.xml</code>
|
|---|
| 115 | </li>
|
|---|
| 116 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 117 | <p>In the XML source file of User's Guide, GLI Help is included by means of defining an ENTITY(chap_gli) in the DTD. For example:</p>
|
|---|
| 118 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 119 | <!DOCTYPE Manual [
|
|---|
| 120 | <!ENTITY chap_gli SYSTEM "help-en.xml">
|
|---|
| 121 | ]>
|
|---|
| 122 | </pre>

|
|---|
| 125 | <h2>Generating HTML files</h2>
|
|---|
| 126 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 127 | <li>Run <tt>source setup.bash</tt> in the top level directory of your Greenstone installation</li>
|
|---|
| 128 | <li>Create a subdirectory named <tt>build</tt>, if there isn't one. cd to the <tt>build</tt> directory, create a subdirectory named with the <tt>language_code</tt> if there isn't one, for example, en for English language.
|
|---|
| 129 | <li>cd to the <tt>language_code</tt> directory, create a <tt>html</tt> subdirectory</li>
|
|---|
| 130 | <li>copy the <tt>images</tt> folder and <tt>style.css</tt> file here</li>

|
|---|
| 168 | <p>Develop_en.xml, User_en.xml, Install_en.xml and Paper_en.xml in the en directory are the main files. Make modifications in those. The translator takes care of the other languages.</p>
|

| 169 | <p>All <Text> elements need a unique id, and all need to be on their own lines, with no other tags (apart from tags inside the text).</p>
|

| 170 | <p>All <Chapter>, <Section>, <Subsection>, <Part>, <Table>, <Figure> elements need a unique id.</p>

| 174 | <h2>Translate into other languages</h2>
|
|---|
| 175 | <p>To tranlate these manuals into other languages, use Greenstone Translator to do this, see <a href="http://wesson.cs.waikato.ac.nz:7070/wiki/index.php/GTI">here</a>.</p>
|
|---|
| 176 | <p>The "module-name" for the manuals are devmanual, installmanual, papermanual and usermanual.</p>
|
|---|
| 177 | <p>For languages whose fonts are not included in the base 14 fonts that FOP
|
|---|
| 178 | supports, eg. Russian, new font may be required to install before generating PDF
|
|---|
| 179 | files in these languages. Install a new language to FOP have 3 steps:</p>
|
|---|
| 180 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 181 | <li>Find an appropriate font file (in .PFM or .TTF format) that contains the
|
|---|
| 182 | necessary fonts;</li>
|
|---|
| 183 | <li>Go to the FOP installation, and run TTFReader to
|
|---|
| 184 | generate an XML file for the font, eg. <br/>
|
|---|
| 185 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 186 | <p><code><font size="2">java -cp .:/research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/build/fop.jar:/research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/lib/avalon-framework.jar:/research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/lib/xml-apis.jar:/research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/lib/xercesImpl.jar:/research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/lib/xalan.jar org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader /research/lh92/packages/fonts/ae_Arab.ttf /research/lh92/greenstone/documentation/modules/shared/fop/conf/Arab.xml</font></code></p>
|
|---|
| 187 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 188 | </li>
|
|---|
| 189 | <li>Register to FOP by adding a new entry in the userconfig.xml file, see below for an example</li>
|
|---|
| 190 | <li>In fo-common.xsl, add a new language-value pair for the <code>font</code> variable, and make sure the <code>lang</code> attribute in the source xml file is set properly.</li>
|
|---|
| 191 | </ol>
|
|---|
| 192 |
|
|---|
| 193 | <p><b>[Example]</b></p>
|
|---|
| 194 | <p>For example, for the Russian language, the <code>L_10646.TTF</code>(under
|
|---|
| 195 | Windows) TrueType Font file contains the required Cyrillic font, then run</p>
|
|---|
| 196 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 197 | <p><code><font size="2">java -cp build\fop.jar;lib\avalon-framework.jar;lib\xml-apis.jar;lib\xercesImpl.jar;lib\xalan.jar
|
|---|
| 198 | org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader [options] L_10646.TTF Cyrillic.xml</font></code></p>
|
|---|
| 199 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 200 | <p>to generate the font xml configure file <code>Cyrillic.xml</code>.</p>
|
|---|
| 201 | <p>Then go to the <code>conf</code> directory under fop installation directory,
|
|---|
| 202 | open <code>userconfig.xml</code> file, in <code><fonts></code> element, add</p>
|
|---|
| 203 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 204 | <p><code><font size="2"><font metrics-file="//research/lh92/gsdl-documentation/shared/fop/conf/Cyrillic.xml"

|
|---|
| 210 | </font></font></code></p>
|
|---|
| 211 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 212 | <p>Then run fop with <code>-c userconfig.xml</code> option to use the new
|
|---|
| 213 | configuration. Preferably, use the generate-pdf script because this already
|
|---|
| 214 | uses the option.</p>
|
|---|
| 215 | <p>Note: when you see the <code>[Fatal Error] :1:1: Content is not allowed in prolog</code> exception, please check
|

| 216 | whether the filepaths of the configuration file (xml) and the font file (.ttf) are correct.</p>
