[mapserver-dev] epub docs...

[Howard Butler]

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!

That Sphinx extension will allow us to build a styleable (and better looking in my opinion) PDF without the latex overhead.  MapServer's complex and large docs have been a good test case(s) of the software ...
