- `$DOCS_FORMAT` is no longer supported in Makefile - By default HTML and EPUB doc formats are created
The following instructions do not work because the source code version of the release create a folder with the version in it. ```console ❯ unzip -l v1.19.3.zip Archive: v1.19.3.zip 427d21e Length Date Time Name --------- ---------- ----- ---- 0 11-13-2025 11:33 elixir-1.19.3/ 502 11-13-2025 11:33 elixir-1.19.3/.formatter.exs ... ``` So the instructions do not work because it expects a folder named `elixir/`. Instructions have been updated to work from the Git repo as well as from the downloaded release source files.
