+All such documents can be generated as PDF or HTML by running:

- make mandocs
respectively from the main kernel source directory.

+They can also be generated on LaTeX and ePub formats with:
+
+::
+
+ make latexdocs
+ make epubdocs
+
+Currently, there are some documents written on DocBook that are in
+the process of conversion to ReST. Such documents will be created in the
