173 @subsection Documentation String Extraction
174
175 The utility @file{etc/make-po} scans the file @code{DOC} to extract
176 documentation strings and creates a message file @code{doc.po}. This file
177 may then be inserted within @code{emacs.po}.
178
179 Currently, @code{make-po} is hard-coded to read from @code{DOC} and write
180 to @code{doc.po}. In order to extract documentation strings from an add-on
181 package, first run @code{make-docfile} on the package to produce the
182 @code{DOC} file. Then run @code{make-po -p} with the @code{-p} argument to
183 indicate that we are extracting documentation for an add-on package.
184
185 (The @code{-p} argument is a kludge to make up for a subtle difference
186 between pre-loaded documentation and add-on documentation: For add-on
187 packages, the final carriage returns in the strings produced by
188 @code{make-docfile} must be ignored.)
