<p>By default, a Glyph project can be “compiled” into an <span class="caps">HTML</span> document. Additionally, Glyph can also be used to produce documents in the following formats:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTML5</li>
<li><span class="caps">PDF</span> (generated from <span class="caps">HTML</span> using a third-party generator like <a href="http://www.princexml.com/">Prince</a> or <a href="http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/">wkhtmltopdf</a>)</li>
<li>Web (i.e. multiple <span class="caps">HTML</span> files)</li>
<li>Web5 (i.e. multiple HTML5 files)</li>
</ul>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="h_41">HTML/HTML5 output</h1></header>
<p>To compile a Glyph project to an HTML document, use the <a href="/glyph/book/ref_commands.html#c_compile"><code>compile</code></a> command within your Glyph project folder. Glyph parses the <code>document.glyph</code> file (and all included files and snippets); if no errors are found, Glyph creates an HTML document in the <code>/output/html</code> folder.</p>
<p>The name of the HTML file can be set in the configuration (<a href="/glyph/book/config/document.html#s_document_filename"><code>document.filename</code></a> setting).</p>
<p>To create an HTML5 file instead, you must specify it explicitly like this:</p>
<p>
<code>glyph compile -f html5</code>
</p>
</section>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="h_42">PDF Output</h1></header>
<p>To generate a PDF document, you must specify <code>pdf</code> as format, like this:</p>
<p>
<code>glyph compile -f pdf</code>
</p>
<p>The command above will attempt to compile the project into an HTML document and then call a third-party PDF generator to convert it into a PDF file.</p>
<p>Currently, Glyph supports:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.princexml.com/">Prince</a> (version 7.0 or higher) — a commercial generator that can be used freely for personal use. Prince produces high-quality <span class="caps">PDF</span> files and implement most of the new features introduced in CSS3, used heavily in Glyph’s <a href="/glyph/book/text_editing/stylesheets.html#default_stylesheets"><code>pagination.css</code></a> default stylesheet.</li>
<li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/">wkhtmltopdf</a> (version 1.0 beta4 or higher) — an open source generator that uses the WebKit rendering engine to transform <span class="caps">HTML</span> files into <span class="caps">PDF</span>. Although not as advanced as Prince, it produces very satisfactory results.</li>
</ul>
<p>By default, Glyph attempts to use wkhtmltopdf. To change this, set the <a href="/glyph/book/config/output.html#s_output_pdf_generator"><code>output_pdf_generator</code></a> setting to <code>prince</code>.</p>
<aside class="note">
<span class="note-title">Note</span>Glyph expects PDF generators to be installed on the local machine and callable via command line using the <code>wkhtmltopdf</code> or the <code>prince</code> commands. Just install them as you would with any other program, depending on your operating system (yes, they both offer Windows installers).

<aside class="tip">
<span class="note-title">Tip</span>Glyph's default CSS file use the free <em>Gentium</em> font for all text. You can download it from <a href="http://www.sil.org/~gaultney/gentium/">here</a>.

</section>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="web_output">Web/Web5 Output</h1></header>
<p>To generate a Web or Web5 output, specify <code>web</code> or <code>web5</code> as format. These two output formats behave different way from the others, and require that your project uses <a href="/glyph/book/text_editing/topics.html#topics">topics</a> and <a href="/glyph/book/extending/layouts.html#layouts">layouts</a>.</p>
<p>Basically, here’s what happens when you compile your project in web or web5 format:</p>
<ol>
<li>The document code is parsed as normal</li>
<li>Separate topic files are generated according to the <code>@src</code> attributes of your sections</li>
<li>The <code>document.glyph</code> (or whatever file you’re using as document source) is <em>not</em> rendered. Instead, an <code>index.html</code> file will be created in the output folder based on the contents of your <a href="/glyph/book/extending/layouts.html#index_layout">index layout</a>.</li>
</ol>
</section>
<section class="section">
<header><h1 id="auto_regeneration">Auto Regeneration</h1></header>
<p>You can also call the <a href="/glyph/book/ref_commands.html#c_compile"><code>compile</code></a> command with a <code>--auto</code> switch. If you do so, your project will be recompiled automatically every time any source file is changed.</p>
<aside class="note">
<span class="note-title">Note</span>Auto regeneration requires the <a href="http://rubygems.org/gems/directory_watcher">directory_watcher</a> gem to be installed.
