HelpDocs

[Sean Champ <sy...@email.msn.com>]

is there anyone who's been specializing in writing up the helpdocs?

if not, put my name on the list there, please :)

I'm collecting the SVG, XSL, and XSLT specs right now, plan on trying to
compile them into HTML-help format (which has a java interface avail. for
it, for the non-mS_windows systems), and to break the docs into smaller
pieces, first.

also, I'll hopefully be coming up with some questions to ask, regarding
(material for) the writing of some help-docs. and I'll probably need to
figure out how to work that JavaDoc classlib too :)

..unnless this is already going on, or if I should synch with someone else
on it.

so I guess that's my status-report, for the day ;)

...I'm one of the winmodem-beplagued.  in other words, i'm stuck with win98,
and I'm not sure if there's an operable CVS client for it. so hopefully
there's a web-interface for the FOP branch of the big ol' world-wide CVS
tree.

Or for something that is extra-cool, check out JavaDox at

http://www.componentregistry.com/javadox/entrypage.jsp

This is an app that uses the Java Doclet API just like 'javadoc' does, but 
generates XML instead.

Check out http://www.wincvs.org for a windows based CVS client.
You'll need to use the cygnus tools to build some parts of fop. But most
of it will build with the MS tools.

If you're into Javadoc you might be able to make a manual and document
the source at the same time. Javadoc is a cool tool for generating help 
files. Javadoc comes in the JSDK from Sun.
