[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-79?page=comments#action_63359 ] Jeff Levitt commented on DERBY-79: ----------------------------------
Updated status on this issue Of the requirements first listed in this issue: * Provide manuals in a PDF format (one manual per PDF file, not PDF files for every page...) - This is complete, as the Manuals page of the Derby website now links to nightly PDF builds of the docs, and includes a process for users to create their own PDF's from the source. While the PDF's are still not perfect, there will always be ways to improve them, so this is a neverending task. * Improve navigation in HTML format. For example, have left hand frame with table of contents and less pages to navigate... - This is complete, as the Manuals page of the Derby website now links to nightly html builds of the docs, complete with a navigation page. * Provide hyperlinks across manuals - Not yet complete. These will have to be hard-coded in... * Make it easier to search the manual (on the user's PC, not refering to the Google search on the Derby web site). PDFs will address this. Having less HTML pages would also help here. - This is complete (see first two bullets above) So the one remaining item on this list is the links between Manuals. > Provide Derby Documentation in PDF format and improve navigation > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-79 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-79 > Project: Derby > Type: Task > Components: Documentation > Reporter: John Sisson > > Since the format of the documentation is a recurring theme, this issue should > be tracked in JIRA. > Summary of requirements from a user's perspective: > * Provide manuals in a PDF format (one manual per PDF file, not PDF files for > every page, see mail thread in derby-dev below) > * Improve navigation in HTML format.
