this is v3 of my patch series for creating a single PDF for all git documentation files. There are only 2 changes since v2 (thanks to Junio for pointing me at these issues) : - The over-long lines in git-bisect-lk2009.txt where shortened by abbreviating the SHA1s. - Pretty-printing the shell script in update-hook-example.txt was fixed. To sum up, this patch series provides the following new "features": - Make target "html" now creates HTML for ALL files in ./Documentation/howto and ./Documentation/technical - New make target "fullpdf" first creates HTML for all files in ./Documentation/RelNotes and then collates all HTML files in ./Documentation and its subdirs (except user-manual.html) in one single PDF file. This approach is of course not an optimal one but by using wkhtmltopdf it could be carried out easily.
I am not interested in adding a build target that requires (a patched version of) wkhtmltopdf at all, but the earlier parts of this series do look like good clean-ups and useful conversions to asciidoc, regardless of which tool we end up deciding to use to produce the final output. Thanks for working on this. I (and other people who wrote documentation, I suspect, as well) feel somewhat offended by the word "fix" here and there in the message in commits that turn files that so far have been plain text into asciidoc, though ;-).
