Hi all,

For those using Homebrew, there's now an mmark installer in Homebrew which makes the build environment a little easier to set up. With homebrew you can get the dependencies for building CELLAR docs with:

brew install pandoc mmark xml2rfc

Then to build either the Matroska, EBML, or FFV1 specifications, you can cd into the cloned repository and run 'make'.

For instance:

git clone https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFV1.git
cd FFV1
make

This should produce formatted drafts of the outputs:
- draft-niedermayer-cellar-ffv1-00.html
- draft-niedermayer-cellar-ffv1-00.txt
- ffv1.html (non-RFC format)
- ffv1.pdf (non-RFC format)

In working on the Markdown text I find it helpful to check how it builds every so often as there are some differences with the outputs.

Best Regards,
Dave Rice
