| <section name="The APEX User Manual"> |
| |
| <p> |
| The APEX user manual combines a set of guides and howto documents, all supporting the use of APEX. |
| The guides and howto documents are provided as integrated documentation in the APEX site. |
| Furthermore, we provide stand-alone documents in HTML and PDF. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Note: most of the documentation is written in AsciiDoc. |
| We are using the AsciiDoctor version. |
| Due to the different build tools used for the different documentation targets, the rendered documents differ in style. |
| The content however comes always from a single, normative source located in the APEX source repositories. |
| </p> |
