I was looking at the adding of the db_dataobject manual - and discovered that it doesn't really fit well in with the current structure of the manual -or probably that I've no idea what I'm doing with docbook :) at present the package section is roughly broken up into top level groups something like this: Group of Packages: &packages.authentication;
Single Packages:     &packages.database.db-dataobject;
Group of Packages:   &packages.file;  Single Packages?:    &packages.log;
Group of Packages: &packages.networking; Group of Packages: &packages.templates;
Single Packages:     &packages.phpdoc;  Single Package:      &packages.phpunit;    Group of Packages:   &packages.xml;
The group of packages usually lists sub packages - eg. Net_Curl.. which has a single page (in the HTML version), describing the class and methods. The Single Package - tend to be a more detailed (eg. with subsections) describing different areas about that package. I have to admit I've got no great ideas on doing it any better - eg. to me the default (grouping method) ends up with a not so great manual page - eg. all on one big page. - see the Integrated Template manual for an example. - this could be grouped and made alot more comprehinsive... I guess the other issue is how the title's relate to the packages - has anyone been looking at this? - or at least got a few good comments... regards alan Alan Knowles wrote:
