Goal:
Generate man pages and web docs from one source.
Current plan:
The master docs for each package are now the pandoc-style
manpage-markdown files in the package directories -
hledger/hledger.1.md, hledger-lib/hledger_journal.5.md, etc.
Parts of these will be marked as web-only, and parts as man-only, using
divs recognisable by custom pandoc filters.
When generating man pages we strip the web-only parts, and all html
blocks, inline html and hyperlinks.
When generating web docs we strip the man-only parts and apply any other
tweaks needed for easy presentation, perhaps combining them into a
single web page similar to the old user manual.
Shake:
This was hard to do with GNU Make, and so I've introduced Shake, which
is working very well. Both coexist for now but it's probably time to
switch.
