Hey,

I was just interested to know what tools the authors use to write the Hibernate HTML and PDF manuals. Is it something like LaTeX or are both managed separately?

It's a nice layout,

Thanks.

Checkout CVS, look in /doc/reference/. If you copy it, remember it is LGPL.

On a somewhat related topic, what is the licensing for the site's stylesheet. I may have used it once for a client ;)

If source or binary is distributed, the LGPL has to be included (or a clear reference where to obtain the distribution license for the included software) so that the receiver can exercise his rights. If you modify the code and distribute, you have to distribute the source of your modifications under the LGPL as well. Usually you do this by providing deltas to the original authors on their public patch/issue tracking system.

It took me weeks to get the documentation system in shape. Quite a few people have taken it without any credit or reference. I haven't received any modifications so far but seen quite a few.

P.S. I don't want cosmetic style sheet modifications :)
