M Joonas Pihlaja 43a775f60d [meta] Rename cairo_meta_surface_t to cairo_recording_surface_t.
The new name is more descriptive than the rather opaque meta surface.
Discussed with vigour on the mailing list and #cairo:

Cairo Reference Documentation
=============================

The API documentation is generated using gtk-doc.


Building
--------

The documentation is not built by default.  To build it you need to
configure with gtk-doc enabled (--enable-gtk-doc), and run:

	make doc


Adding New API
--------------

When adding new symbols and macros to the public API, modify
cairo-section.txt and add new symbols to the right place.

When adding whole new features, you also need to modify cairo-docs.xml
and add a new file under tmpl/.  Beware that the files are tmpl/ are
both manually edited AND modified by gtk-doc, gathering documentation
stub from source files.


Tests
-----

There are some tests in this directory, ensuring proper documentation
syntax as well as checking that all public symbols are fully documented.

After adding any new API, just run:

	make check
