Package: yorick-doc (2.1.05+dfsg+cvs20091202-2)

documentation for the Yorick interpreted language

Yorick is an interpreted programming language for:

 * scientific simulations or calculations
 * postprocessing or steering large simulation codes
 * interactive scientific graphics
 * reading, writing, and translating large files of numbers

The Yorick package ships with little documentation: a manpage, the Yorick Manual in info format, and its own "help" command. This package adds the Yorick Manual and Quick Reference in PDF and HTML format and a utility (update-yorickdoc) to build HTML documentation for the set of functions (from Yorick and add-on packages) installed on this machine. By default, these pages are built and updated automatically whenever necessary.

Once this package is installed, simply point your preferred web browser to file:///usr/share/doc/yorick-doc/README.html .
