+If this is your first time building the HTML5 parser, you need to execute the
+following commands (from this directory) to bootstrap the translation:
+
+ make sync # fetch remote source files and licenses
+ make translate # perform the Java-to-C++ translation from the remote
+ # sources
+ make named_characters # Generate tables for named character tokenization
+
+If you make changes to the translator or the javaparser, you can rebuild by
+retyping 'make' in this directory. If you make changes to the HTML5 Java
+implementation, you can retranslate the Java sources from the htmlparser
+repository by retyping 'make translate' in this directory.
+
+The makefile supports the following targets:
+
+sync_htmlparser:
+ Retrieves the HTML parser and Java to C++ translator sources from Mozilla's
+ htmlparser repository.
+sync_javaparser:
+ Retrieves the javaparser sources from GitHub.
+sync:
+ Runs both sync_javaparser and sync_htmlparser.
+javaparser:
+ Builds the javaparser library retrieved earlier by sync_javaparser.
+translator:
+ Runs the javaparser target and then builds the Java to C++ translator from
+ sources retrieved earlier by sync_htmlparser.
+libs:
+ The default target. Alias for translator
+translate:
+ Runs the translator target and then translates the HTML parser sources
+ retrieved by sync_htmlparser copying the Java sources to ../javasrc.
+translate_from_snapshot:
+ Runs the translator target and then translates the HTML parser sources
+ stored in ../javasrc.
+named_characters:
+ Generates data tables for named character tokenization.
+clean_javaparser:
+ Removes the build products of the javaparser target.
+clean_htmlparser:
+ Removes the build products of the translator target.
+clean:
+ Runs both clean_javaparser and clean_htmlparser.
