how to add dependancies to go with xml

[mcr]

When using xi:include to insert yang or other things, those things might need to be created. That can be done with additional dependancies in the top-level Makefile, but how to add it to drafts_source? I think that adding something like:

 drafts_source := $(join $(drafts),$(draft_types)) ${extra_sources}

to id.mk might work.

That won't work, sadly, as that variable is used for other purposes. What you really want is to say which drafts depend on what other material.

If you are using includes in markdown, the module is a dependency of the XML file:

draft-mcr-yang-is-awesome.xml: module.yang

Otherwise, with <xi:include> you need to make the file a dependency of all of the output files:

draft-mcr-yang-is-awesome.html: module.yang
draft-mcr-yang-is-awesome.txt: module.yang
