+Generating the FL Reference Manual
+===================================
+
+Like the wxWindows manual, the FL manual uses Tex2RTF to
+generate HTML, MS HTML Help, wxHTML Help, WinHelp, RTF, and PDF
+formats.
+
+VC++ users can use makefile.vc in this directory, e.g.:
+
+ nmake -f makefile.vc docs ; Create directories and
+ ; all formats
+
+or
+
+ nmake -f makefile.vc dirs html ; Create directories, then
+ ; HTML files
+
+The targets that the makefile supports are:
+
+html ; HTML
+htb ; wxHTML Help: the HTML files + hhp, hhc files,
+ ; archived in a fl.htb (zip format) file
+htmlhelp ; MS HTML Help: the HTML files + hhp, hhc files
+ ; then processed with hhc to produce fl.chm
+winhelp ; WinHelp format: Tex2RTF produces RTF and CNT
+ ; files, then the makefile invokes hc.exe to produce
+ ; the fl.hlp file
+rtf: ; WinHelp RTF (intermediate stage for winhelp)
+pdfrtf ; Makes an RTF file suitable for loading into
+ ; MS Word and generating a PDF via Adobe Acrobat
+
+If you wish to run Tex2RTF directly, you can do e.g.
+
+ tex2rtf $(DOCDIR)\latex\FL\manual.tex $(DOCDIR)\html\FL\fl.htm -twice -html
+
+For more information on using Tex2RTF, please see:
+
+ docs/tech/tn0003.txt: Adding wxWindows class documentation
+
+in the wxWindows hierarchy, and also utils/tex2rtf. The Tex2RTF
+manual is supplied with wxWindows documentation, in (for example)
+docs/html/tex2rtf/t2rtf.htm or docs/htmlhelp/tex2rtf.chm.
+
+You can configure the way Tex2RTF works with tex2rtf.ini in
+docs/latex/fl.
+
+Generating HTML format
+======================
+
+To generate HTML documentation, you need to use the -html
+argument to Tex2RTF. A whole directory of files will be
+generated.
+
+Generating MS HTML Help format
+==============================
+
+To generate MS HTML Help documentation, you need to generate
+the HTML files as above and then run
+
+ hhc fl.hhp
+
+You'll need the MS HTML Help compiler, obtainable from Microsoft
+or bundled with your C++ compiler.
+
+Generating wxHTML Help format
+=============================
+
+To generate wxHTML Help documentation, you need to generate
+the HTML files as above and then archive the HTML, image,
+hhc, hhp and optionally hhk files into fl.htb.
+
+The helpview program can be used to view fl.htb
+on supported platforms. Get it from the wxWindows web site
+or compile it with samples/html/helpview in the wxWindows
+distribution.
+
+Generating WinHelp format
+=========================
+
+To generate Windows Help documentation, you need to generate
+the RTF file and contents file (.cnt) using --winhelp and
+then run hc.exe to produce the .hlp file
+
+Generating PDF format
+=====================
+
+Run Tex2RTF with the -rtf argument, load the RTF into MS Word,
+select the whole document, press F9, then apply wordstyle.dot
+found in distrib/msw in the wxWindows distribution.
+Then generate the PDF using Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter.
+
+Note that for the contents to be formatted correctly,
+each class section should end with a blank line. Otherwise
+the contents will have bits of the reference in it.
+
+Generating .tex files from .h files
+===================================
+
+Much of the class reference is generated from the headers.
+The intention is to comment the headers more thoroughly, then
+regenerate the .tex files, before working directly on the
+.tex files.
+
+To regenerate .tex files, you'll need the HelpGen utility from
+latest wxWindows CVS, in utils/helpgen/src. Compile wxBase,
+then HelpGen. Run helpgen with e.g.
+
+ helpgen dump file.h
+
+and a separate .tex file for each class will appear in the
+current directory.
