Who has no webserver on his machine nowadays? Especially if he is interested in PHP? Livedocs offers a lot more possibilities also in an offline (ie without internet connection, with local webserver) setting, if used appropriately.

You know.. I've been thinking about this. In order for something like this to work, we'd have to purge most extraneous tools from the build chain. For example, livedocs does a /path/to/phpdoc/configure when it ./build.sh which requires things like xsltproc So, now the questions: 1) is there a way to configure the docs (and "build" livedocs) without installing a bunch of libraries (especially on cygwin).. I'm thinking that a pure PHP solution is the the only reasonable expectation. 2) if not, does anyone care to work on something that would allow this OPTIONALLY? (Obviously, PHP scripts are going to be slower than the native C (e.g. xsltproc), most of the time.) S
