#review-1028126 Update the logo for both PDF, HTML, and CHM output. Includes updated favicon.ico for the HTML output. Includes some additional tweaks: - In the HTML presentation, the "book" icon (to access the PDF, if available) and the magnifying glass icon for searching both look more clickable, using colors from the latest perforce.com design. - Also, both icons stick to the right edge of the doc content, rather than the right edge of the browser. - The background color in the HTML presentation is now plain white; the gradient image is removed. - The Google Analytics code is now included in the HTML presentation by default. Individual guides can disable this by setting the DocBook parameter perforce.analytics=0. Once this change is in place, subsequent generation of guides will incorporate these changes. |

Add a new 'htmlhelp' doc build target that generates the HTML, index, TOC files that can be compiled into a CHM file on a Windows machine using HTML Help Workshop. The build target can be used wherever the doc infrastructure runs, but the final CHM compilation currently needs to be performed on a Windows box. This means full CHM production automation is currently unavailable. Further investigation into non-Microsoft CHM compilers will be required for full automation. Note that any guide that requires CHM production will need to add its own 'htmlhelp' asset tree. The P4VS guide will (shortly) become a decent reference, if required. For any XSLT tinkerers, note that only a few of the 'htmlhelp' DocBook parameters are currently passed through to the transformation phase. If you need to pass any additional parameters through, add them to build.xml as appropriate. |

Upgrade ANT doc build infrastructure to assemble PDFs: - remove non-namespaced DocBook source and add namespaced DocBook source. - add Apache FOP 1.1 - copy fonts, images, XSL into _build, establishing new asset structure. The original structure remains until all guides using it can be upgraded, and several other issues can be resolved. - updated build.xml to allow for per-target build properties. - upgraded the P4SAG to use the new infrastructure. - tweaked admonition presentation in PDFs to remove admonition graphics, and resemble closely the presentation used in the new HTML layout, including the same colors. With these changes, building PDFs involves using a shell, navigating into the guide's directory (just P4SAG for now), and executing "ant pdf". Issues still to be resolved: - PDF generation encounters several warnings about missing fonts (bold versions of Symbol and ZapfDingbats), and a couple of locations where the page content exceeds the defined content area. - Due to issues within Apache FOP, PDF generation emits a substantial amount of output that is not easily suppressed without losing important warning information. - Apache FOP's interface to ANT does not expose a way to set the font base directory. The current configuration does work under Mac OSX, but further testing on Windows will need to be done to determine if the relative paths defined continue to work. The workaround is for Windows users to customize the fop-config.xml to provide absolute system paths to the required fonts. - HTML generation needs further browser testing, and exhibits broken navigation on iOS browsers within the TOC sidebar. - A number of PDF and HTML presentation tweaks still need to be made, for example: sidebars, gui* DocBook tags, whitespace, section separation, etc. |

Apply better organization for DocBook transformation assets. In the future, other output target assets will appear as peers of webhelp, within the assets directory. |

Initial checkin of infrastructure to process DocBook XML into WebHelp format. The purpose of this change is to lay the groundwork that will allow all published Perforce documentation to be converted to HTML (and eventually PDF and other formats) in a consistent manner, independent of tools, and eventually allow for automated documentation builds. The latest versions of DocBook (1.78.1), Saxon (6.5.5), Xalan-J (2.7.1), and XSLTHL (2.1.0) are included, as well as generic customization capability and per-guide customizations. More work needs to be done to the customization layers to fully support their use from an XML authoring tool, such as oXygen, which will appear in a future change. Note: This change only includes configuration to build WebHelp for the P4SAG. Further work is required before the infrastructure can be applied to other guides. WARNING: For anyone using oXygen to produce WebHelp, there is a known incompatibility: <imagedata> tags in oXygen are verified for file existence, and the HTML is subsequently patched to resolve to the output directory. The non-oXygen WebHelp generation does not include the patch operation, so images are broken. The <imagedata> can be updated to indicate the relative path in the output directory, but then the oXygen transformation will fail. This will be fixed in a future change. |
