---yah that might not be a bad idea.  I'll write Harry and ask for his
permission to bundle the Calendar class.  I think it includes a directory
with several files/objects. A while back Harry convinced me to propose ad=
ding
phphtmllib to PEAR.  I ended up making the proposal to the developer list=
 and
then proceeded to be told how much of an idiot I was for using OOP for ht=
ml.  So
I haven't been a huge fan of PEAR or the developers of PEAR since.  phpht=
mllib
is basically a competitor to the entire html mechanism that PEAR has, and=
 they
felt threatened by it basically.  It's no biggie.  Keeping it seperate fr=
om PEAR
gives me (us) the maximum flexibility for change and new features w/o hav=
ing to
go through what is now a big political process to add new features.  Bah.=
  That
being said, there are several good classes in PEAR.

---yah I just thought it'd be worth a try and play with it.  I was able t=
o
generate the xmldocbook stuff from phpdocumentor, but haven't a clue how =
to
convert that to the html output that php.net and pear.php.net has for the=
ir
manual.  I'm not even sure the xmldocbook output that phpdocumentor deliv=
ers is
even good enough to do that yet. =20

  If you want to make sure that your changes are getting good documentati=
on
being generated, you can just pull down the nightly build and try the doc=
s in
there.  I believe my build script generates the docs as well.  Or you can=
 just
install the pear::phpDocumentor and run the phphtmllib/docs/docit.sh scri=
pt

  As a side note, I've been thinking about possibly changes to the phphtm=
llib
website.  The look is kinda tired now, and it'd be nice to have a php.net=
 style
manual on it, and also make it easier to provide new examples, and tutori=
als
possibly.  The current incarnation of the site is in cvs on my colocated =
box, so
only I have access currerntly to maintain it.  I thought about moving it =
to
sourceforge as well so others could help maintain it.  dunno, just an ide=
a
