README: The newdoc tool

The newdoc tool generates pre-populated module and assembly files formatted with AsciiDoc, which are used in Red Hat and Fedora documentation. The generated files follow the template guidelines maintained by the Modular Documentation initiative: https://redhat-documentation.github.io/modular-docs/.

The tool is written in the Rust programming language.

It has not been tested on Microsoft Windows.

Installing newdoc

To install newdoc on Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS, use the Copr package repository:
```
# dnf copr enable mareksu/newdoc-rs
# dnf install newdoc
```
On a different Linux distribution, on macOS, or on Microsoft Windows, use the cargo package manager:
```
# cargo install newdoc
```
For installing cargo, see https://rustup.rs/.

Note that newdoc has not been tested on Microsoft Windows.

Creating a new module

In the directory where modules are located, use newdoc to create a new file:
```
modules-dir]$ newdoc --procedure "Setting up thing"
```
The script also accepts the --concept and --reference options. You can use these short forms instead: -p, -c, and -r.
Rewrite the placeholders in the generated file with your docs.

Creating a new assembly

In the directory where assemblies are located, use newdoc to create a new file:
```
assemblies-dir]$ newdoc --assembly "Achieving thing"
```
You can use the short form of the --assembly option instead: newdoc -a "Achieving thing".
Rewrite the placeholders in the generated file with your docs.

Add AsciiDoc include statements to include modules. See Include Files in the AsciiDoc Syntax Quick Reference.

Options

To generate the file without the explanatory comments, add the --no-comments or -C option when creating documents.
To create the file without the file-name prefix, add the --no-prefixes or -P option.
To specify the directory where newdoc saves the generated file, add the --target-dir=<directory> or -T <directory> option.
To generate an assembly with include statements for other generated modules, use the --include-in or -i option:
```
$ newdoc --include-in "An assembly for two modules" --concept "First module" --procedure "Second module"
```
This creates the two modules and an assembly that features the include statements for the modules.

Packaging and distributing newdoc as an RPM

Install the cargo package manager. For details, see https://rustup.rs/.
Install the cargo-rpm extension:
```
$ cargo install cargo-rpm
```
In the newdoc project directory, build RPM packages:
```
$ cargo rpm build
```
This command build packages in the target/release/rpmbuild/ directory.
Log into the Copr repository administration: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mareksu/newdoc-rs/.
Go to the Builds tab.
Click New Build and select Upload.
In the Provide the source section, upload the most recent SRPM package from the target/release/rpmbuild/SRPMS/ directory.
Click Build.
