557.2 Internal Tools
56</H2>
57
58<P>
59This section describes the various scripts that are used to
60 implement various stages of document processing or to orchestrate
61 entire build sequences. Most of these tools are only useful
62 in the context of building the standard documentation, but some
63 are more general.
64
65<P>
66<DL>
67<DT><STRONG><b class="program">mkhowto</b></STRONG></DT>
68<DD>This is the primary script used to format third-party
69 documents. It contains all the logic needed to ``get it
70 right.'' The proper way to use this script is to make a
71 symbolic link to it or run it in place; the actual script file
72 must be stored as part of the documentation source tree,
73 though it may be used to format documents outside the tree.
74 Use <b class="program">mkhowto</b> <b class="programopt">--help</b> for a list of
75 command line options.
76
77<P>
78<b class="program">mkhowto</b> can be used for both <code>howto</code> and
79 <code>manual</code> class documents. It is usually a good idea to
80 always use the latest version of this tool rather than a
81 version from an older source release of Python. It can be
82 used to generate DVI, HTML, PDF, PostScript, and plain text
83 documents. The GNU info and iSilo formats will be supported
84 by this script in some future version.
85
86<P>
87Use the <b class="programopt">--help</b> option on this script's command
88 line to get a summary of options for this script.
