# File: $Id$
#
# Standard variables and rules for building everything associated with a
# content file, including graphics and supporting files. Only content
# files that have such supporting files need to have (custom) rules
# defined for them, all other content files will be handled by make's
# default behaviour.
#
# Note that all versions of the graphics for a content file will be
# generated, regardless of whether we are building the web or print
# versions. This may seem a little wasteful, but there are two points to
# consider here:
# 
# 	1. At the time this makefile is executed, we have no easy way
# 	   to determine which "build mode" we are in. (It could be done
# 	   with exported variables from the parent makefile, but see below.)
# 
# 	2. This makefile will only be executed once for the document in
# 	   question anyway, because once make has processed the parent
# 	   file, that file will be considered "up-to-date", and make will
# 	   therefore not come back to it again, even though both the print
# 	   and web targets depend on it.
# 
# So, even if we just were clever enough to set up conditionals based on
# the "build mode", if we just went "make", we would almost certainly find
# that make would build either the web graphics only, or the print
# graphics only, but not both. We therefore leave this file as is, and
# build both web and print graphics regardless. It doesn't take that much
# longer anyway, especially since we won't be regenerating all of the
# graphics for _everything_ when only one file has changed :)

# Build correctly cropped PNGs for web display from the original source

#
# It might seem to make more sense to generate the PNGs from the print
# EPS, which has already been appropriately cropped. However, the results
# of directory searches using vpath are rather unpredictable when the
# source file is not guaranteed to exist. If we depended on %-print.eps,
# which is generated by the rule above, it's not guaranteed that the file
# will exist at the time that make performs its directory search (which
# seems to be done statically). The source EPS isn't generated and can
# thus be guaranteed to always exist. Give me guaranteed correct operation
# over efficiency any day! :)
