Combined with the Doxia Book Maven Plugin you are able to include the manuals directly in your generated site with links to the off-line friendly formats like XDoc, PDF, RTF and LaTeX. * How It Works The only thing you need in addition to the content files itself is a simple book descriptor which is used to specify the ordering of the sections and the names for the chapters. See the {{{./book.html}Book Descriptor Reference}} for a reference to the descriptor. A sample is given on the main Doxia {{{http://maven.apache.org/doxia/book/index.html}site}}.
