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

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

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

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

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