OpenPOWER Foundation Documentation Development Guide

This repository holds the source for the documentation development guide (formerly Master Template Document) for OpenPOWER Foundation. The PDF and HTML generated from the doc/template/ directory build a document that both describes how to build a new document and contains examples and directions on how to do it.

To build this project, one must ensure that the Docs-Master project has also been cloned at the same directory level as the Docs-Template project. This can be accomplished with the following steps:

1. Clone the master documentation project (Docs-Master) using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Master.git

2. Clone this project (Docs-Template) using the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Template.git

3. Build the project with these commands:

$ cd Docs-Template
$ mvn clean generate-sources

The online version of the document can be found in the OpenPOWER Foundation Document library at OpenPOWER Foundation Documentation Development Guide.

The project which controls the look and feel of the document is the Docs-Maven-Plugin project, an OpenPOWER Foundation private project on GitHub. To obtain access to the Maven Plugin project, contact Jeff Scheel [scheel@us.ibm.com](mailto://scheel@us.ibm.com) or Jeff Brown [jeffdb@us.ibm.com](mailto://jeffdb@us.ibm.com).
