| LloydFlanagan -- 10/8/2004 I've checked out Andrew's setup. It's brilliant! I've been looking at a system for parsing the current CVS documentation, creating wiki pages out of it, and updating them as the docs are changed. Meanwhile, Andrew has come up with a scheme to view the standard HTML pages side-by-side with comments. Since that's so functional, and these docs are obsolete already, I'll probably stop work on this version until I think of something better. Err, make that "if". Thanks Andrew! ---- |
