is there a possibility to convert a markdown written documentation (https://github.com/propelorm/propelorm.github.com) to a pdf file?
Thank you.
Can you print it? If so, use a PDF printer driver, perhaps CutePDF or similar.
Consider converting from Markdown to HTML, and then from HTML to PDF; I use Pandoc and DOMPDF respectively for each task. This approach allows you to apply styling using CSS. I tried converting directly, but didn't seem to have much luck.
I have some Markdown documentation which I convert as above using this script - I need to do a little more work on it, but I'm 99% happy with it. Give that a go?
If you get this working, ping me - it would be great to set up a simple site to mirror the official Propel docs with a PDF!

I'd like to write an architecture document for a little ruby project I'm working on, and being an architecture document it'll benefit from a few box and stick diagrams.
What's the done thing on open source projects for this situation? Should I be practicing my ASCII art, or should I include PDFs or something in my doc folder?
Note that this is a stand-alone document, not API documentation generated from the code.
Check out umlet-github, a Google Chrome extension that allows you to create diagrams in UMLet, store them as UXF files in your repository and view them in your browser within the GitHub interface.
I would say use Gliffy, where you can export diagrams to .JPG or .PDF and attach them to your README.md file.
You can also get a sharable link and include it in there. Very handy.

We are trying to find a set of tools to generate context-sensitive help files (CHM) and manuals (CHM and PDF) from the same sources.
Features wanted are:
able to deal with linked hypertext
must be able to generate CHM and PDF from
should be able to integrate documentation generated from code (currently XML comments)
cross-file links would be great
source format being plain text (SCM diff-able) would be truly glorious
I suppose that just about every software shop must have run into this problem.
How do you do this?
What tools do you use?
What's your experience with those?
Edit: I thought every shop providing Windows software would have to solve this and many of you would have input for this. It seems I was wrong. although I still wonder how you all do this.
Anyway, thanks for the input of those who answered. We haven't decided yet, but this bounty runs out in a few hours. Unless someone comes in with a glorious suggestion, since the answer suggesting docbook got the most up-votes, I'll pick that one.
Have you considered DocBook? You can render that as just about anything. See this Code Project article for examples for CHM generation.
Check out Help And Manual http://helpandmanual.com/products_hm_features.html
I love this product

You could achieve what you want if you implement the following:
1) Generate Html from XML
2) Generate CHM from Html
You can use Microsoft Html Help workshop to generate CHM files using Html, see: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=00535334-c8a6-452f-9aa0-d597d16580cc&displaylang=en
3) Generate PDF from Html using an Html-to-PDF tool.

I want to create some diagrams for some papers.
Diagrams will contain some text, e.g. some console output. I need images for using also in html files.
There is TikZ so can create images like this:
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/boxes-with-text-and-math/
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/rule-based-diagram/
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/scenario-tree/
but as a result I get some ps/pdf files, not images.
What's more I want to generate the pictures from text files as I want to track changes in some VCS, any binary files are not suitable for that.
The program convert from the ImageMagick suite can convert PDF files to other formats, like PNG. In its simplest form:
convert diagram.pdf diagram.png
See the manual for additional options.

This may seem like a kind of amorphous question, but how can you get the most of the Linux Kernel Documentation directory?
I noticed on the Linux Cross Reference that there is a DocBook directory. How do I build it, use it and is it at all useful? What other ways are there to make efficient use of this directory?
All the various make targets are documented if you try "make help" at the top of the src tree. In the case of the DocBook stuff there are multiple targets, for example try:
make htmldocs
Oh and yes it is useful stuff and will probably be the most upto date reference around. A lot of the DocBook stuff extracts documentation on the various functions straight from the kernel source tree annotations.
