Introduction

GNOME 2 documentation uses DocBook XML, and no longer requires building HTML at package build time. The build system only requires installing the XML and figures and registering the document with ScrollKeeper.

This document describes the prototypical build system and the steps required to set one up, with pointers to templates to be used.

Before doing any of this, contact the package maintainers to get approval for changes to their packages.
