40_latex_build.b

Not all readers appreciate the online HTML system at all times. It requires a computer to read the information, and HTML browsers do not have a lot of control in printing out pages.

PDF files of the documentation system are a useful tool beyond their electronic display and navigation capabilities, because they provide more control in what gets printed out. They can print a range of pages that are laid out more or less as the author intended.

One way that Doxygen achieves its PDF files by first generating LaTex files. From LaTex, the PDF files are created.

This script first calls voyant_latex.pl with appropriate parameters for the project, such as the project file containing version numbers and names. This generates a couple of Latex files that are used later in the build process.

Then this script creates the PDF files from the Doxygen LaTex output by calling the 45_latex_build.b.

Note: When you add cref_ projects for API source code, this is one of the files that you will manually have to update accordingly. You are responsible for creating 40_ script files appropriate for your API projects. Generally, one 40_ script can cover all projects.
