#! @Description
#! This is the main function of the &AutoDoc; package. It can perform
#! any combination of the following three tasks:
#! <Enum>
#! <Item>
#! It can (re)generate a scaffold for your package manual.
#! That is, it can produce two XML files in &GAPDoc; format to be used as part
#! of your manual: First, a file named <F>doc/PACKAGENAME.xml</F>
#! (with your package's name substituted) which is used as
#! main file for the package manual, i.e. this file sets the
#! XML DOCTYPE and defines various XML entities, includes
#! other XML files (both those generated by &AutoDoc; as well
#! as additional files created by other means), tells &GAPDoc;
#! to generate a table of content and an index, and more.
#! Secondly, it creates a file <F>doc/title.xml</F> containing a title
#! page for your documentation, with information about your package
#! (name, description, version), its authors and more, based
#! on the data in your <F>PackageInfo.g</F>.
#! </Item>
#! <Item>
#! It can scan your package for &AutoDoc; based documentation (by using &AutoDoc;
#! tags and the Autodoc command.
#! This will
#! produce further XML files to be used as part of the package manual.
#! </Item>
#! <Item>
#! It can use &GAPDoc; to generate PDF, text and HTML (with
#! MathJaX enabled) documentation from the &GAPDoc; XML files it
#! generated as well as additional such files provided by you. For
#! this, it invokes <Ref Func='MakeGAPDocDoc' BookName='gapdoc'/>
#! to convert the XML sources, and it also instructs &GAPDoc; to copy
#! supplementary files (such as CSS style files) into your doc directory
#! (see <Ref Func='CopyHTMLStyleFiles' BookName='gapdoc'/>).
#! </Item>
#! </Enum>
#! For more information and some examples, please refer to Chapter <Ref Label='Tutorials'/>.
#! <P/>
#! The parameters have the following meanings:
#! <List>
#!
#! <Mark><A>package_name</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! The name of the package whose documentation should be(re)generated.
#! </Item>
#!
#!
#! <Mark><A>option_record</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! <A>option_record</A> can be a record with some additional options.
#! The following are currently supported:
#! <List>
#! <Mark><A>dir</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This should be a string containing a (relative) path or a
#! Directory() object specifying where the package documentation
#! (i.e. the &GAPDoc; XML files) are stored.
#! <Br/>
#! <E>Default value: <C>"doc/"</C>.</E>
#! </Item>
#! <Mark><A>scaffold</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This controls whether and how to generate scaffold XML files
#! for the main and title page of the package's documentation.
#! <P/>
#! The value should be either <K>true</K>, <K>false</K> or a
#! record. If it is a record or <K>true</K> (the latter is
#! equivalent to specifying an empty record), then this feature is
#! enabled. It is also enabled if <A>opt.scaffold</A> is missing but the
#! package's info record in <F>PackageInfo.g</F> has an <C>AutoDoc</C> entry.
#! In all other cases (in particular if <A>opt.scaffold</A> is
#! <K>false</K>), scaffolding is disabled.
#! <P/>
#!
#! If <A>opt.scaffold</A> is a record, it may contain the following entries.
#!
#### TODO: mention merging with PackageInfo.AutoDoc!
#! <List>
#!
#! <Mark><A>includes</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of XML files to be included in the body of the main XML file.
#! If you specify this list and also are using &AutoDoc; to document
#! your operations with &AutoDoc; comments,
#! you can add <F>AutoDocMainFile.xml</F> to this list
#! to control at which point the documentation produced by &AutoDoc;
#! is inserted. If you do not do this, it will be added after the last
#! of your own XML files.
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>appendix</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This entry is similar to <A>opt.scaffold.includes</A> but is used
#! to specify files to include after the main body of the manual,
#! i.e. typically appendices.
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>bib</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! The name of a bibliography file, in Bibtex or XML format.
#! If this key is not set, but there is a file <F>doc/PACKAGENAME.bib</F>
#! then it is assumed that you want to use this as your bibliography.
#! </Item>
#!
#### TODO: The 'entities' param is a bit strange. We should probably change it to be a bit more
#### general, as one might want to define other entities... For now, we do not document it
#### to leave us the choice of revising how it works.
####
#### <Mark><A>entities</A></Mark>
#### <Item>
#### A list of package names or other entities which are used to define corresponding XML entities.
#### For example, if set to a list containing the string <Q>SomePackage</Q>,
#### then the following is added to the XML preamble:
#### <Listing><![CDATA[<!ENTITY SomePackage '<Package>SomePackage</Package>'>]]></Listing>
#### This allows you to write <Q>&amp;SomePackage;</Q> in your documentation
#### to reference that package. If another type of entity is desired, one can simply add,
#### instead of a string, add a two entry list <A>a</A> to the list. It will be handled as
#### <Listing><![CDATA[<!ENTITY a[ 2 ] '<a[ 1 ]>a[ 2 ]</a[ 1 ]>'>]]></Listing>,
#### so please be careful.
#### </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>TitlePage</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A record whose entries are used to embellish the generated titlepage
#! for the package manual with extra information, such as a copyright
#! statement or acknowledgments. To this end, the names of the record
#! components are used as XML element names, and the values of the
#! components are outputted as content of these XML elements. For
#! example, you could pass the following record to set a custom
#! acknowledgements text:
#! <Listing><![CDATA[
#! rec( Acknowledgements := "Many thanks to ..." )]]></Listing>
#! For a list of valid entries in the titlepage, please refer to the
#! &GAPDoc; manual, specifically section <Ref Subsect='Title' BookName='gapdoc'/>
#! and following.
#! </Item>
#! <Mark><A>document_class</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! Sets the document class of the resulting pdf. The value can either be a string
#! which has to be the name of the new document class, a list containing this string, or
#! a list of two strings. Then the first one has to be the document class name, the second one
#! the option string ( contained in [ ] ) in LaTeX.
#! </Item>
#! <Mark><A>latex_header_file</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! Replaces the standard header from &GAPDoc; completely with the header in this LaTeX file.
#! Please be careful here, and look at GAPDoc's latexheader.tex file for an example.
#! </Item>
#! <Mark><A>gapdoc_latex_options</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! Must be a record with entries which can be understood by SetGapDocLaTeXOptions. Each entry can be a string, which
#! will be given to &GAPDoc; directly, or a list containing of two entries: The first one must be the string "file",
#! the second one a filename. This file will be read and then its content is passed to &GAPDoc; as option with the name
#! of the entry.
#! </Item>
#!
#! </List>
#! </Item>
#!
#!
#! <Mark><A>autodoc</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This controls whether and how to generate addition XML documentation files
#! by scanning for &AutoDoc; documentation comments.
#! <P/>
#! The value should be either <K>true</K>, <K>false</K> or a
#! record. If it is a record or <K>true</K> (the latter is
#! equivalent to specifying an empty record), then this feature is
#! enabled. It is also enabled if <A>opt.autodoc</A> is missing but the
#! package depends (directly) on the &AutoDoc; package.
#! In all other cases (in particular if <A>opt.autodoc</A> is
#! <K>false</K>), this feature is disabled.
#! <P/>
#!
#! If <A>opt.autodoc</A> is a record, it may contain the following entries.
#!
#! <List>
#!
#! <Mark><A>files</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of files (given by paths relative to the package directory)
#! to be scanned for &AutoDoc; documentation comments.
#! Usually it is more convenient to use <A>autodoc.scan_dirs</A>, see below.
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>scan_dirs</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of subdirectories of the package directory (given as relative paths)
#! which &AutoDoc; then scans for .gi, .gd and .g files; all of these files
#! are then scanned for &AutoDoc; documentation comments.
#! <Br/>
#! <E>Default value: <C>[ "gap", "lib", "examples", "examples/doc" ]</C>.</E>
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>level</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This defines the level of the created documentation. The default value is 0.
#! When parts of the manual are declared with a higher value
#! they will not be printed into the manual.
#! </Item>
#!
#### TODO: Document section_intros later on.
#### However, note that thanks to the new AutoDoc comment syntax, the only remaining
#### use for this seems to be the ability to specify the order of chapters and
#### sections.
#### <Mark><A>section_intros</A></Mark>
#### <Item>
#### TODO.
#### </Item>
#!
#! </List>
#! </Item>
#!
#!
#! <Mark><A>gapdoc</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! This controls whether and how to invoke &GAPDoc; to create HTML, PDF and text
#! files from your various XML files.
#! <P/>
#! The value should be either <K>true</K>, <K>false</K> or a
#! record. If it is a record or <K>true</K> (the latter is
#! equivalent to specifying an empty record), then this feature is
#! enabled. It is also enabled if <A>opt.gapdoc</A> is missing.
#! In all other cases (in particular if <A>opt.gapdoc</A> is
#! <K>false</K>), this feature is disabled.
#! <P/>
#!
#! If <A>opt.gapdoc</A> is a record, it may contain the following entries.
#!
#! <List>
#!
#!
#### Note: 'main' is strictly speaking also used for the scaffold.
#### However, if one uses the scaffolding mechanism, then it is not
#### really necessary to specify a custom name for the main XML file.
#### Thus, the purpose of this parameter is to cater for packages
#### that have existing documentation using a different XML name,
#### and which do not wish to use scaffolding.
####
#### This explain why we only allow specifying gapdoc.main.
#### The scaffolding code will still honor it, though, just in case.
#! <Mark><A>main</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! The name of the main XML file of the package manual.
#! This exists primarily to support packages with existing manual
#! which use a filename here which differs from the default.
#! In particular, specifying this is unnecessary when using scaffolding.
#! <Br/>
#! <E>Default value: <C>PACKAGENAME.xml</C></E>.
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>files</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of files (given by paths relative to the package directory)
#! to be scanned for &GAPDoc; documentation comments.
#! Usually it is more convenient to use <A>gapdoc.scan_dirs</A>, see below.
#! </Item>
#!
#! <Mark><A>scan_dirs</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of subdirectories of the package directory (given as relative paths)
#! which &AutoDoc; then scans for .gi, .gd and .g files; all of these files
#! are then scanned for &GAPDoc; documentation comments.
#! <Br/>
#! <E>Default value: <C>[ "gap", "lib", "examples", "examples/doc" ]</C>.</E>
#! </Item>
#!
#! </List>
#! </Item>
## This is the maketest part. Still under construction.
#! <Mark><A>maketest</A></Mark>
#! <Item>
#! The maketest item can be true or a record. When it is true,
#! a simple maketest.g is created in the main package directory,
#! which can be used to test the examples from the manual. As a record,
#! the entry can have the following entries itself, to specify some options.
#! <List>
#! <Mark>filename</Mark>
#! <Item>
#! Sets the name of the test file.
#! </Item>
#! <Mark>commands</Mark>
#! <Item>
#! A list of strings, each one a command, which
#! will be executed at the beginning of the test file.
