BTW, here's what I have so far:
directory "pdf"
file "pdf" => [:doc] do |t|
# SOMETHING HERE
end
rule '.pdf' => '.html' do |t|
sh "prince #{t.source} #{t.name}"
end
It doesn't seem to account for the directory structure, and I'm not sure how to hook it together with what is already in the Rakefile.

Hi. I've started experimenting with Rote for my documentation needs. I really appreciate the straightforward design and clear documentation. It makes all the difference. I used to use Userland Frontier, which uses a really interesting and powerful webpage generation model -- Rote looks like it can reproduce some of Frontier's features.
Except - I'm a bit stuck on the basics. I just need another example.
I'd like to create a task to transform my rendered html pages into pdfs, using Prince. Assuming the command is just 'prince in.html out.pdf', can someone give me a headstart with a task that will keep a pdf folder up to date with docs just like the html folder?
Any other examples of custom tasks would be very useful to see. I'm sure I can crack this, but I have no experience with Rake and am just stumbling a little at the moment.
