16 * \page userguide How to write the userguide
17 *
18 * The userguide is written with docbook. We have use XXE as means to write
19 * the guide in a WYSIWYG style.
20 *
21 * In general, the guide
22 * http://movementarian.org/docs/docbook-autotools/index.html
23 * has been very helpful in setting docbook usage up with autotools. We
24 * followed it closely with some minor modifications as we want to generate
25 * a pdf instead of html.
26 *
27 * \section userguide-images How to get images working
28 *
29 * We have multiple screenshots to explain the graphical interface. These
30 * reside in a distinct folder pictures. However, to get it working with
31 * autotools we need to change some paths. And there we ran into a lot of
32 * (newbie) trouble with docbook or rather with xsltproc, the preprocessor
33 * for xml files in conjunction with xsl stylesheets.
34 *
35 * At one point we stumbled over catalogs that seem to be able to tell the
36 * processor that he should look elsewhere for certain files but we could
37 * get the processor to actually use these directives.
38 *
39 * Finally, we stumbled on some more and came onto this guide
40 * http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/GraphicsLocations.html
41 * that finally explained what was the point with those images. So, we can
42 * use either \a fileref, which might work if we set \a img.src.path, or we
43 * have to define our images as entities in the very beginning of the xml
44 * document and reference them via \a entityref with just the given token.
45 * The latter then worked with the catalog as these are actually looked up,
46 * i.e. here the URI mechanism does finally work. It does not work in the
47 * case of fileref.
