+The basic idea is to generate high quality manual pages, and assemble
+them into a complete book, called link:pve-admin-guide.adoc[Proxmox VE
Administration Guide]. So we have one source, and generate several
documents from that. It is also possible to generate printable PDF
files, or ebook formats ('.ebup').
+When possible, we provide scripts to extract API definitions,
+configuration or command line options from the source code.
+
+To simplify the documentation task, we keep all Documentation within
+this repository. It is possible to generate the docs (without installing
+any additional Proxmox packages) with:
+
+ make index.html
+
+We also generate an additional development package called
+'pve-doc-generator', which is used by other Proxmox VE package to
+generate manual pages at package build time.

-NOTE: The github 'asciidoc' viewer does not expand those macros.
