        Around 2010, the rendition script changed its name from
88dd17
        <command>render.sh</command> to
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> and became a collection of
88dd17
        functionalities where rendition was just one among others
88dd17
        (e.g., documentation and localization).

        The <command>centos-art.sh</command> was initially conceived
88dd17
        to automate frequent tasks inside the repository based in the
88dd17
        idea of Unix toolbox: to create small and specialized tools
88dd17
        that do one thing well.  This way, functionalities inside
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> began to be identified and
88dd17
        separated one another. For example, when images were rendered,
88dd17
        there was no need to load functionalities related to
88dd17
        documentation manual. This layout moved us onto <quote>common
88dd17
        functionalities</quote> and <quote>specific
88dd17
        functionalities</quote> inside
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script. Common
88dd17
        functionalities are loaded when
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script is initiated and are
88dd17
        available to specific functionalities.

        Suddenly, no need was found to keep all the links spreaded
88dd17
        around the repository in order to execute the
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script from different
88dd17
        locations.  The centos-art command-line interface was used
88dd17
        instead. The centos-art command-line interface is a symbolic
88dd17
        link stored inside the 
88dd17
        class="directory">~/bin</filename> directory that point to
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script. As default
88dd17
        configuration, inside The CentOS Distribution, the path to
88dd17
        <filename class="directory">~/bin</filename> is included in
750966
        the search path for commands (see <envar>PATH</envar>
750966
        environment variable).  This way, using the centos-art
750966
        command-line interface, it is possible for us to execute the
88dd17
        <command>centos-art.sh</command> script from virtually
88dd17
        anywhere inside the workstation, just as we frequently do with
88dd17
        regular commands.

        The repository directory structure was updated to improve the
88dd17
        implementation of corporate visual identity concepts.
88dd17
        Specially in the area related to themes. Having both structure
88dd17
        and style in the same file introduced content duplication when
88dd17
        producing art works.  Because of this reason, they were
88dd17
        divided out to separate directory structures: the design
88dd17
        models and artistic motifs directory structures.  From this
88dd17
        point on, the <command>centos-art.sh</command> is able to
88dd17
        produce themes as result of arbitrary combinations between
88dd17
        design models (structures) and artistic motifs (visual
88dd17
        styles).

        In the documentation area, the documents in LaTeX format were
88dd17
        migrated to Texinfo format. In this configuration, each
88dd17
        directory structure in the repository has a documentation
88dd17
        entry associated in a Texinfo structure which can be read,
88dd17
        edited and administered (e.g., renamed, deleted and copied)
88dd17
        interactively through <command>centos-art.sh</command> script.
88dd17
        Additionally, the texi2html program was used to produced
750966
        customized XHTML output in conjunction with CSS from &TC;;.
