* gathers information from /etc/resolv.conf * included (still commented) code to prevent reading too often, as I'm not sure whether reading from a real FS (not /proc or /sys) could generate higher load in some cases -> comments please! git-svn-id: https://conky.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/conky/trunk/conky1@1035 7f574dfc-610e-0410-a909-a81674777703 |

DA DOCS. YO. ============ The main file that contains the bulk of our documentation is docs.xml . We use the DocBook format, which is a really kickass xml-based way of writing documentation, heavily oriented towards programming and computer stuff. There are tags like <command> and <option> that marks up your content without actually having to mark it up, which is why something that's of the <command> shows up in some cool style regardless of whether it's in a man page or a web page. DocBook has been around for 10 years, and there's TONS of resources online about the different tags and the stuff that can be done. FILE ORGANIZATION ================= For the sake of making things readable and organized, docs.xml "includes" three other files, as of 8/18/05. These are config_settings.xml, command_options.xml, and variables.xml . Their names are pretty self-explanatory, and what the "include" essentially does is stick their contents into docs.xml at the appropriate locations when it's time to produce a man page or html file. So if you wanted to add a variable or explain a command line option better, you'd look in variables.xml and command_options.xml. If you wanted to change the authors or something, look in docs.xml BUILDING DA DOCS ================ (NOTE that the docs are now built automatically via doc/Makefile.am, but it requires that you have docbook2x and xsltproc installed) making the html is easy. xsltproc should more than likely already be on your system: xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl docs.xml > docs.html ============================================================================================================== making the man page is pretty easy, it uses a program called docbook2x, which you might or might not have. docbook2x-man docs.xml (produces a conky.1 file) gzip conky.1 conky.1.gz can be viewed in man-form by doing "man -l conky.1.gz" ============================================================================================================== making the README (text-only) file is just some simple unix: man -l conky.1.gz | col -b > README
