RE: [PHP-DEV] FAQ URL updates for next php3 release

Rasmus and I spoke (a long time ago it seems) about moving the PHP documentation at least into it's own CVS tree, and at the most into some web-based database updateable template thingy. Obviously we spoke of it in very technical terms. I think his thinking was that since the SGML format of the manual is almost identical page to page (i.e. every function page follows the same template), why not build a web-interface that that lets us edit/add/update manual entries through the web, then parses it into the appropriate SGML and stores it in a CVS tree or database. Someone needs to build this, of course. It may well be me, but certainly not before the end of August (big holiday coming up). Thoughts? __________________________________________________________________ Colin Viebrock easyDNS Technologies ... be the master of your domain http://www.easyDNS.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Stig Bakken [mailto:ssb@fast.no] > Sent: Monday, June 07, 1999 8:19 AM > To: Jim Winstead > Cc: Paul Andersen; php-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] FAQ URL updates for next php3 release > > > On Sun, 6 Jun 1999, Jim Winstead wrote: > > > Well, I think having a standalone FAQ is good.
