                           The Coq documentation
                           =====================

The Coq documentation includes 

- A Reference Manual
- A Tutorial
- A document presenting the Coq standard library
- A list of questions/answers in the FAQ style

The sources of the documents are mainly made of LaTeX code from which
user-readable PostScript or PDF files, or a user-browsable bunch of
html files are generated.

Prerequisite
------------

To produce the PostScript documents, the following tools
are needed:

  - latex (latex2e)
  - dvips
  - bibtex
  - makeindex
  - pngtopnm and pnmtops (for the Reference Manual and the FAQ)

To produce the PDF documents, the following tools are needed:

  - pdflatex
  - bibtex

To produce the html documents, the following tools are needed:

  - hevea (e.g. 1.07 works)


Under Debian based operating systems (Debian, Ubuntu, ...) a
working set of packages for compiling the documentation for Coq is:

  texlive texlive-latex-extra texlive-math-extra texlive-fonts-extra
  texlive-lang-french texlive-humanities texlive-pictures latex-xcolor
  hevea netpbm
