The Documentation compiler is a script that reads FlightGear data such as PropertyList-encoded Aircraft checklists XML files and writes out pdf files using pdfLaTeX. It was first announced on the forum.

Features

The Documentation compiler takes Flightgear data and render a pdf file. It currently handles only aircraft data, but different other things have been suggested.

  • It takes the aircrafts checklists and outputs them to LaTeX
  • It takes the extra LaTeX data in the Docs/ subdirectory of the aircraft and puts it before the checklists.
  • It takes the thumbnail of the aircraft for using it on the titlepage of the documentation.

Usage
