In a sense, we already have the ability to target specific files - the
CMake DocBook build system has individual targets for every file and every
output type. Generally speaking, the target name convention is:
<filename root>_[<lang>_]<type>_<output type>
lang is only used if the language of the document is other than English
(the default.) So for example, let's say you wanted to build just:
HTML output for the Italian version of the about doc
HTML output for the tire article
PDF output for volume one of the manual
MAN output for the search man page
do:
make about_it_article_html tire_article_html
BRL-CAD_Tutorial_Series-VolumeI_book_pdf search_mann_man
I'm not sure that convention on <lang> is entirely consistent - if not we
should fix it - but that should let you target one or a select number of
files without having to build the whole of a category. Does that do what
you need?
Cheers,
Cliff
