about those variables, I thought it would be simpler to keep
everything in the same file.
-Note that for security reasons, we *don't* call scripts in the git
-dir when building on the web server. See @ref{Uploading and
-security}. So we definitely want to keep those definitions for
-the WEBSITE_ONLY_BUILD.

After some split WEBSITE_ONLY_BUILD vs. normal build definitions,
there's another bunch of lines setting up generic variables.
@subsubheading website.make building parts
The website-version rule creates files that define macros for
-commands like @@stableDocsNotationPdf@{@}, by calling python scripts.
-Those scripts are scripts/build/create-version-itexi.py and
-scripts/build/create-weblinks-itexi.py.
+commands like @code{@@stableDocsNotationPdf@{@}}, by calling
+python scripts. Those scripts are:
-website-xrefs: creates files used for complicated "out-of-build"
-references. If you just write @@ref@{@}, then all's groovy. But
-if you do @@rlearning@{@}, then our custom texi2html init file
-needs to know about our custom xref file format, which tells our
-custom texi2html init file how to create the link.
+@example
+scripts/build/create-version-itexi.py
+scripts/build/create-weblinks-itexi.py
+@end example
+
+The remaining parts are:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+@code{website-xrefs:}
+creates files used for complicated "out-of-build" references. If
+you just write @@ref@{@}, then all's groovy. But if you do
+@@rlearning@{@}, then our custom texi2html init file needs to know
+about our custom xref file format, which tells our custom
+texi2html init file how to create the link.
We should have a separate @@node to discuss xrefs. Also, take a
quick look at a generated xref file -- it's basically just a list
of @@node's [sic teenager pluralization rule] from the file.
-website-bib: generates the bibliography texinfo files from the
-.bib files.
+@item
+@code{website-bib:}
+generates the bibliography texinfo files from the .bib files.
-website-texinfo: this is the money shot; it calles texi2html to
-generate the actual html. It also has a ton of options to
-texi2html to pass info to our custom init file.
+@item
+@code{website-texinfo:}
+this is the money shot; it calles texi2html to generate the actual
+html. It also has a ton of options to texi2html to pass info to
+our custom init file.
After texi2html, it does some black magick to deal with
untranslated nodes in the translations. Despite writing that
figure it out by copy&pasting each part of the command (by "part",
I mean "stuff before each | pipe"), substituting the variables,
then looking at the text that's output. For example,
+
+@example
ls $(OUT)/$$l/*.html
+@end example
+
is going to print a list of all html files, in all languages, in
the build directory. Then more stuff happens to each of those
files (that's what xargs does).
-website-css: just copies files to the build dir.
+@item
+@code{website-css:}
+just copies files to the build dir.
+
+@item
+@code{website-pictures, website-examples:}
+more file copies, with an if statement to handle if you don't have
+any generated pictures/examples.
+
+@item
+@code{web-post:}
+runs:
-website-pictures, website-examples: more file copies, with an if
-statement to handle if you don't have any generated
-pictures/examples.
+@example
+scripts/build/website_post.py
+@end example
-web-post: buggered if I know. Apparently it runs the
-scripts/build/website_post.py file, which despite writing, I
-can't remember what it does.
+which, it adds the "this page is translated in klingon" to the
+bottom of html pages, and adds the google analytics javascript.
+It also has hard-coded lilypond version numbers, which is Bad
+(tm).

+@item
+@code{website:}
+this is the "master" rule. It calls the bits and pieces in order,
+then copies some extra files around.
