This is a repository for documenting FreeEMS.

The documentation is written in markdown syntax and can be converted to many formats, including HTML and PDF (only HTML generated with the included build script).

The build script is written in Ruby, so you'll need to have Ruby installed.

Some old versions of doesn't come with RubyGems, so install that separately if you don't have a gem command available.

The script itself depends on one of these Markdown libraries (in order of preference):

• rpeg-markdown
• rdiscount
• bluecloth (2.x and newer, not 1.0, which is broken)

To install the dependency, run: sudo gem install rpeg-markdown

If that fails (invalid build environment or such), try one of the others, like: sudo gem install rdiscount

You can even have all of them installed, if you want.

To build the documentation, run the build script: ruby build.rb

..or: ./build.rb

Doing that will build a HTML pages into the html directory.

• Read the Markdown reference manual
• Fork this project on github.
• Edit contents of the doc/spin1 directory or create another directory with similar structure.
• Ensure the output of build.rb is valid (it's built into the html/ -directory). Edit the .md files until it is!
• Commit and push your changes
  • Notify the original author with a pull request, if you use a fork.
