[Firebird-docs] Howtos committed

[Paul V. <pa...@vi...>]

Hello all,

Yesterday afternoon I've added the Docbuilding Howto and the
Docwriting Howto to the manual module. I've also committed the
improved firebirddocs.css stylesheet and removed the obsolete
images in src/docs/images/callouts


Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog

OK I can see them from Eclipse, now the Sourceforge is back 
up again.
It would be nice to have a 'compiled' copy in html perhaps 
in an 'html' directory?

Are you going to throw the reserved word list there?
I have a 'borrowed' glossary (thanks Helen), but until I've 
tUrned all the 'red' text to 'black' ( redefined from 
firebird sources ) I can't put that over ;)

We only put the sources in CVS, not the rendered docs. I'll send a
message to the website list about having an HTML version placed on the
documentation pages at firebird.sourceforge.net - I think Pavel Cisar
is in control of this.

For the time being you can read the howtos at this temporary location:

  http://vinkenoog.nl/firebird/drafthowto/

You can also build the HTML version yourself; see the Docbuilding
Howto and/or the Readme in the manual directory.

For now the PDF output is terrible (try "build pdf"); until we improve
that I think we shouldn't publish the PDF version.

Yes, when it's ready. All the XML docs wind up in
/manual/src/docs/firebirddocs, except the main document
firebirddocs.xml, which is in /manual/src/docs
