← back to  ../../docs/DOC-14250 How to write documentation for JBDS and JBoss Tools 

In order to compare previous documentation with the current one and add update/added marker to TOC, we use DiffMk version 3.0.a1. tool.

We added two script files in the bin folder of the DiffMk distribution: 
* run.sh
* run_mkdiff.sh. 


The first is responsible for comparing 2 files and producing a third file with *diff* markers. The second one we use to indicate the files to compare and the output files, the format is the following: ./run.sh [+the path to the file+] [+the path to the file modified+] [+the path to the output file+]

To identify the changes between two different revisions of the same guide, use the following line: ./run.sh /path/to/the/old/revision/guide/master.xml /path/to/the/current/revision/guide/master.xml /path/to/the/produced/by/diffmk/master_output.xml

Next, run the run_mkdiff.sh

Actually, the DiffMk is not an ideal tool for comparing. It has a lot of lacks. Here are some of such lacks we run into: 
* It removes the HTML entities when outputs the file, for instance & in the links;
* Sometimes it mixes the structure of the document, for instance, put the <chapter> into the <chapter>;
* Sometimes it deletes the tags such as <imageobject>. 
    
Thus, in order the docs with diff markers could be built, the next step is validating and checking the master_output.xml files carefully. 

To build the guide with updated/new markers on the TOC, chapters and sections and have the changes highlighted, use the 'diffmk' profile, i.e. the mvn clean install -P diffmk maven command. 
 
To build the release version of the guide (for JBDS release) with updated/new markers on the TOC, use the 'releaseJBDS' profile, i.e. the mvn clean install -P releaseJBDS maven command.
