Australian Rainfall and Runoff Document Source

This repository contains the complete source code required to build the current edition of Australian Rainfall and Runoff. The supported formats you can build from here include:

• EPUB
• HTML

If you don't want to build the document yourself from source it can be downloaded for free from the ARR Website.

Getting Started

Introduction

The source for ARR is in XML documents using the DocBook V5 schema. EXtensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) stylesheets are used to Transform (XSLT) the source XML into the desired output. The majority of this process is transparent to the end user as it is quite rare to touch the sylesheets, with most of the work undertaken in the source XML themselves.

Prerequisites

TODO: add the pre-requisite instructions.

Build From Source

The general build process is:

cd arr
chmod +x build_make_includes
./build_make_includes
make clean
make epub

Contributing

TODO: need to define the contribution process.
