Chris Wilson 7f114b781f [doc] Workaround read-only tree during make distcheck
This looks to be an ugly necessity to work-around the nasty issue that
we currently gtkdoc expect to be run inside the source tree. I'm sure
Behdad will be able to resolve this much more elegantly than this quick
and fragile attempt.

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
