Spring Doc Resources

This project holds the static resources that Spring uses for document production. That includes the following:

• /src/main/resources/stylesheets/spring.css: The stylesheet for the HTML versions of the Spring reference guides.
• /src/main/resources/javascript/tocbot: The javascript library that creates the dynamic table of contents for the HTML versions of the Spring reference guides.
• /src/main/resources/html/docinfo.html and html/docinfo-footer.html: The static HTML files that tocbot needs.
• build.gradle: The Gradle build file for this project. All it does is make a zip file that contains the resources.
• README.md: This file.

Where to Put the Files

Each of the files has to go in a particular place, all relative to where your Asciidoc files are when Asciidoctor generates its output.

CAUTION: You cannot let Asciidoctor generate its output and then move the files. The files have to be in position when Asciidoctor runs.

The files go in the following locations:

• docinfo.html and docinfo-footer.html: Put these two files at the top of your Asciidoc hierarchy (typically src/main/asciidoc and typically in the same directory as index.adoc).
• stylesheets/spring.css: Put this file in a directory called stylesheets as a child of the top directory in your Asciidoc hierarchy (so usually src/main/asciidoc/stylesheets/spring.css).
• tocbot-3.0.2: Put this directory and the files in it in a directory called tocbot-3.0.2 as a child of the top directory in your Asciidoc hierarchy (so usually src/main/asciidoc/tocbot-3.0.2).

Rendering Details

To get the dynamic table of contents to work correctly, you need to set the docinfo attribute to shared, thus: :docinfo: shared. Bear in mind that, if you set the attribute in your pom.xml, it overrides the value in your Asciidoc files. You may still want to set the attribute in your Asciidoc files, though, if you generate files with the asciidoctor command for testing.
