Bigtop::Docs::Cookbook - Bigtop syntax by example

=head1 Intro

This document is meant to be like the Perl Cookbook with short wishes
you might long for, together with syntax to type in your bigtop file
and what that produces.  In addition, many sections start
with a simple question about what gets built by the backend in question.

This document assumes you will be editing your bigtop file with a text
editor (it was written before tentmaker).  You may also choose to
maintain your bigtop file with tentmaker.  Generally, the advice here
governs what values you put in the boxes at the far right side of the
Backends tab in tentmaker.  Some of the other advice must be applied
on the App Body tab.  See L<Bigtop::Docs::TentTut> to get started with
tentmaker or L<Bigtop::Docs::TentRef> for full details on using it.

For full syntax consult L<Bigtop::Docs::AutoKeywords> and/or
L<Bigtop::Docs::Syntax> along with  L<Bigtop::Docs::AutoBackends>.
You could also run tentmaker which displays the same things as the
Auto Docs, but in an organized way in a browser.

The questions are in sections.  Here is a complete list of sections and
questions:
