SETUP Required environment variables: TEACHING_SHARED This variable specifies the path to the top level of the teaching shared directory hierarchy, whereever you happen to have put it (e.g., on my machine this is set to "/Users/nstanger/Documents/Teaching/Shared"). ALL_PAPERS_ROOT This variable specifies the path to the top level directory for all papers taught, i.e., the directory that contains the individual paper directory hierarchies. This assumes that you have all your current paper directories contained within a single hierarchy. If you don't, you're in trouble :) For example, on my machine this is set to "/Users/nstanger/Documents/Teaching/2005" (which contains directories INFO212, INFO321, ...). HANDBOOK_INSTALL_ROOT This variable specifies the path to the top level directory on the web server, under which the files for this paper will be installed (that is, the directory that contains the individual paper directory hierarchies). Under Windows this would typically point to \\INFO-NTS-12\DBCourses$ (but this may require munging depending on how UNC paths are dealt with). On my machine this is set to "/Volumes/DBCOURSES$", because this is where the share gets mounted. XSLT This variable specifies your preferred XSLT processor. Currently the valid options are "saxon" for SAXON 6.5.x, "xalan-c" for the C++ implementation of Xalan and "xalan-j" for the Java implementation of Xalan (weirdly, the latter two have different command line options). For example, on my machine this is set to "saxon".
