digitalmars.D - New DocWiki: D documentation

reply Markus Dangl <danglm in.tum.de> writes:
Hi,

I hope you still remember me, I had the idea of writing a new 
documentation for D users. I'm now finished with the most basic 
programming and testing of the doc wiki and I can now consider it being 
beta (i.e. stable enough to release it to the D newsgroup *g*)

Check it out at: http://www.quit-clan.de/docwiki/

There is already a bit of stuff there, but be sure to double-check any 
information from the wiki atm, because it may still be wrong.
I hereby invite everybody to correct the documentation and add new 
things to it!

The current wiki features include export to XML, HTML, CHM, XSL:FO, PDS, 
PS - if you're missing something, just tell me, I'll be sure to look 
into it (if I'm able to write an exporter).

Great!
One thing I'm unsure about is the final goal of your documentation.
Is it supposed to be a reference manual of Phobos and Mango?

At least Phobos, but I want to have some major libraries in there too. 
Like, e.g. mango and other "big" things for D. If you want to add one, 
just do it :)

The "Language Reference" should cover all the basics of D and i want to 
write some tutorials too. Then we'll start the translations :)
I hope bandwith will not be an issue too soon...

Wow... That is very nice!

Thanks, Markus.

Are you going to make the software downloadable as well ?

Yep works for me too :).  I meant are you going to make the PHP that
generates this documentation available ( the PHP for the site ) ?

Yes, i'll release it under GPL, but ATM the source is not so beautiful 
and i don't wanna release such a "mess". I plan to rewrite a few 
functions and restructure the code a bit, because all the main wiki 
functions are in one 16kb file...
If you want to i can send you the source code per email or upload it 
somewhere, just send an email to me. There is no manual for it and the 
sourcecode isn't commented very well.

That's looking very nice, it puts any designs I've done to shame :P

I didn't realize you could set an form input to be centered (well, I 
should have, since you can change anything with CSS, I just never 
thought to do so)...I kinda like that.

Keep up the good work...I'd also like to see the source code for this, 
since I've done a bit of work with PHP myself and enjoy poking around 
with other programs...maybe replace the wiki on my webpage with this :).
