wmake pdfdoc generate this error option '-f': Unrecognised ^tj
Thomas,
The generation of the PDF document has gotten a bit more complex over the last two weeks. The PDF documentation is now generated via LaTeX. The old creole tool did not support LaTeX. You need to get a new version, hg:creole. It also wouldn't hurt to get a new version of eudoc, hg:eudoc.
Since you are on windows, in order to build the resulting LaTeX file, you will need to install MiKTeX, http://miktex.org/ ... Once you have those items setup, you should be able to generate the new PDF doc.

Building documentation is a multi-program, multi-step process.
- eudoc
takes source-code and extracts information to a txt file - creolehtml converts txt file to html
- htmldoc, wkhtmltopdf
two possible program choices to convert html to pdf
both downloaded separately - creole
converts txt to LaTeX format - LaTeX
final stage of making pdf
So, the 'old' creolehtml needs an extra program to make a pdf. The limitation is that html to pdf converters are limited in capability, but convenient.
Thus, the 'new' creole needs an extra program LaTeX, a typesetting program, that makes superior pdf documentation.

Thank you for the explanation, i am a bit challenged here "ye good ol way" worked for me. I have downloaded and installed the apps recomened by Jeremy, and can build pdf but the html stuff thats another story.
