Please let's not conflate DOCBOOKS to mean something other than DocBooks. I think it'll be easier that way. So I guess we'll need a way to build just a subset of the Sphinx documentation. I would like that to be a somewhat generic thing, not requiring a separate conf file for each subset. Is the granularity of a directory enough? I've been meaning to look into passing different <sourcedir> and <filenames> to sphinx-build for this, but I don't have the time now. BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Technology Center
