This chapter covers organization of the documentation build process and how man:make[1] is used to control it.
[[doc-build-rendering]]
== Rendering AsciiDoc into Output
Different types of output can be produced from a single AsciiDoc source file.
[cols="20%,20%,60%", frame="none", options="header"]
|===
| Formats
| File Type
| Description
|`html`
|HTML
|An `article` or `book` chapter.
|`pdf`
|PDF
|Portable Document Format.
|`epub`
|EPUB
|Electronic Publication. ePub file format.
|===
To render the documentation and the website use one of the following examples.
[[documentation-build-example]]
.Build the documentation
[example]
====
[source,bash]
....
% cd ~/doc/documentation
% make
....
====
[[website-build-example]]
.Build the website
[example]
====
[source,bash]
....
% cd ~/doc/website
% make
....
====
[[project-build-example]]
.Build the entire documentation project
[example]
====
[source,bash]
....
% cd ~/doc
% make -j2
....

[[doc-build-toolset]]
== The FreeBSD Documentation Build Toolset
These are the tools used to build and install the FDP documentation.
* The primary build tool is man:make[1], specifically Berkeley Make.
* Python is used to generate the Table of Contents and other related Tables.
* Hugo
* AsciiDoctor
* Git
[[doc-build-makefile]]
== Understanding the Makefile in the Documentation Tree
There are three [.filename]#Makefile# files for building some or all of the documentation project.
* The [.filename]#Makefile# in the [.filename]#documentation# directory will build only the documentation.
* The [.filename]#Makefile# in the [.filename]#website# directory will build only the website.
* The [.filename]#Makefile# at the top of the tree will build both the documentation and the website.
The [.filename]#Makefile# appearing in subdirectories also support `make run` to serve built content with Hugo's internal webserver. This webserver runs on port 1313 by default.
[[documentation-makefile]]
=== Documentation Makefile
This [.filename]#Makefile# takes the following form:
[source,bash]

#
# The run target uses hugo's built-in webserver to make the documentation site
# available for local browsing. The documentation should have been built prior
# to attempting to use the `run` target. By default, hugo will start its
