Sharan Foga commented on OFBIZ-6450: ------------------------------------ Hi Taher I've been looking at the help and all the component documentation help files seem to use the docbook section (recursive section) tag. I can't find any chapter tags or even the book tag in any of the files I've looked at. There must be a book tag somewhere! When I was doing the HR documentation – (from the Webhelp addon) it had been written as a complete docbook book with chapters, sect1, sect2 etc. - I had tried to copy it into the HELP_HR.xml and it didnt work (i.e wouldnt display) - I also tried to copy some of the sect1 and sect2 and that didnt work either (i.e wouldnt display) I think these could be explained by not being allowed to nest any chapters or sect1 and sect2 tags into a section tag. - I also tried to use some of the text formatting commands just as a line somewhere within the section eg. <para><emphasis role="bold"> Nodes In the Company Tree</emphasis></para> but this didnt work either. The text was displayed but it wasn't displayed in bold. I also tried some of the <mediaobject> and <screenshot> tags and they didnt work either. The only tags that seem to work within a section tag are the following: <title> <para> <itemizedlist> If I had to guess I would say that it sounds like our docbook structure is built only on recursive section tags which could explain the limitations I've experienced. > Docbook and OFBIz Online Help > ----------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-6450 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6450 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Sharan Foga > > Jira created based on the steps suggested by Taher as follows: > - First, we attempt to fix whatever is wrong in DocBook at the moment. If you > can share exactly what you spotted then this would save us a lot of time in > trying to dig to the problem. So a repeat process to identify the bugs from > you would be great. > - Second, we decide on a category structure for the sections of the > documentation if we do not like the existing one > - We also introduce or enforce a workflow that mandates an update of the > documentation on each JIRA that affects functionality that requires > documentation. For example, if we add or modify a screen in the party > component, then we must provide the documentation for that screen before > closing the JIRA for example. > - As a last step we decide on the appropriate technology to move forward. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
