+**Doxygen plugin -> HTML published plugin (html)/ LaTeX (pdf)**

+
+Description: This was the first discovered method
- html: using Doxygen plugin + HTML publisher
It involves some customization at doxygen level + custom html header/footer
- - pdf: it generates a .pdf using latex
-
- Final destination of generated files needs to be discussed as it will be part of a Bash script in Post-actions.

- standard reStructuredText or Markdown
- Cons:
+- Cons:
- takes some time to customize the output in matters of template, requires custom html header/footer
- latex suite is quite substantial in amount of packages and consumed space (around 1.2 GB)

+- Pros:
- quite easy for initial setup
- uses openstack documentation generation flows as for openstack-manuals (clouddocs-maven-plugin), maven installs all you need generate the documentation
- Cons:

- could be tricky to generate a custom layout, knowledge about Maven plugins required, .pom editing
- dependent of multiple maven plugins
