[mapserver-dev] epub docs...

[John Cole]

Great!  I was wondering about that when I saw the Sphinx questions roll
through.  I'll give it a whirl tonight, as it seems you have to use
iTunes to load a book onto the pad.

Thx

John

John,

Now that we have upgraded to Sphinx 1.0, (english-only) epub is now
available. For some reason, the build throws unicode errors on the
german build, but I suspect that is due to our old python on
mapserver.org

http://mapserver.org/MapServer.epub  

Enjoy on your ipad!

Howard

hope to enable things soon once after 1.0 is released.

large docs have been a good test case(s) of the software ...
