Updating the MPICH2 FAQ

From Mpich2

Jump to: navigation, search

The MPICH2 FAQ is maintained from a single file, faq.txt, in the directory mpich2/docs/faq. This source file uses a simplified form of LaTeX for formatting; the script faqbuild, which is run by using make in the docs/faq directory, will build three forms of the FAQ:

HTML
A single file, faq.php, which is copied to the MPICH2 web site with make install-web. (DJG: this is not true, there is no Makefile for the website...)
Text
A collection of files, all with extension .txt, that contain one FAQ item. These may be used with the REQ system.
LaTeX
A single file, faq.tex, which is normally processed to produce a PDF file.

We may need to add or modify this list once we switch over to using Trac.
