Detailed Description

Generates a master TOC script file appropriate for all found mini-TOC files in the specified directory.

This script calls voyant_mt_app.pl (master tree application). This looks at all tree_<...>.script files in the specified project file. If a tree file doesn't exist, a warning is output. It creates a master tree script file that references the mini-TOC tree script files.

In addition, it creates master_tree script files for each of the mini-TOC files, whereby the paths to the individual topics are resolved for where they actually reside with respect to the top-level publication directory.

In other words, the mini-TOC tree files are intended to work from where they were generated. When plugged into a bigger system, the master tree navigation files typically reside at a lever higher.

This two-stage process has benefits, most of them along the lines of how a modular system can be generated from different TOC files. A given directory can be symbolically linked in several different places and be referenced in several different project files. As such, information can be re-used efficient with accurate master TOCs for the project.
