[Oorexx-devel] Questions ad generating the documentation (publican, pandoc)

There was a long discussion on how to get this set up that took place on this list back in January of this year. The net of this discussion was that while it was possible to build the docs on linux, the results were not as good as the version built on Windows. Getting a working setup on Windows
