Hi!
As I said before, the CHM Edition works reached a stage,
where we need active collaboration, but will mainly
talk about DHTML, CSS, usability, etc. questions not
related to PHP, nor the PHP documentation contents.
This is why I asked Jim Winstead to open a new mailing
list for us. He kindly opened php-doc-chm@lists.php.net
for this new thing.
The topic on this list in the short term will include:
- How to let user set preferences, mirror sites, etc.
- Skinning of pages (supporting skins inside and outside
the CHMs)
- DHTML and CSS compatibility issues
- ...
For a quick look at how one of the designers, Gonzalo
implemented the skinning possibility for the CHMs, see
plain skin (will be inside the CHM):
http://corelian.com/phpchm/skintest1a/plain/date_plain.html
fancy skin (will be a skin used from outside the CHM):
http://corelian.com/phpchm/skintest1a/gnz/date_gnz.html
This page uses IE innerHTML techniques to make the skin
viewable.
This was just a small intro to what are coming,
discussions will follow on php-doc-chm from now on
about this subject.
Ps. CVS commits to the "chm" dir will still go to
the phpdoc list AFAIK.
