Every edition has a Makefile. It specifies
Since we have a large number of editions, and expect the number of editions to grove in the future, it is important that all our Makefiles are as similar as possible. We may have to change all Makefiles in the future to meet new demands; that will be a lot simpler if they all look the same.
Author codes are defined in Nordic Authors; see editions.html for some information on this (more documentation is needed).
As a special case, if there is no author or if the author is anonymous, the line AUTHOR=anon should be present. That way, the installation software can report missing AUTHOR lines as errors.
The following file names are currently allowed:
NYI. This is the year of the death of the last copyright holder. This tag is mandatory if AUTHOR=anon, and in that case it is the year the work was first published. Under current Swedish law the work is protected until the year year + 71.
Two valid reasons are defined:
For reference, a long list of langauge codes compiled from various sources is available. It may contain errors.
Actually, using FILES is just a shorthand for using both SRC_FILES and WEB_FILES.
For .html files, the order of the file names in the WEB_FILES variable should be the order between chapters or verses in the edition, as relevant as this might be. Presently, the backwards and forwards arrows between chapters are determined by this ordering.
For an example where the CONTAINS variable is useful, see Adel, Gejstlighet, Borger og Bonde by Gustaf Wied. This is a collection of four theater plays, that were originally published together, but can be performed separately. Each of the four plays consists of two to four acts and some 40 kbyte of text. Another example is Svenska öden och äfventyr by August Strindberg.
