Scott, can you say a little more about your tool chain,...
I'll let Scott answer the specific question. But I just want to
remind Miles of the "Embedded Documentation" feature of Fossil
(http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/embeddeddoc.wiki) and
that the main Fossil website including all of the on-line
documentation is really just a running instance of Fossil serving the
Fossil self-hosting repository. (All of the main website, except the
Download page, that is.)So if you are a committer, updating the Fossil
documentation is as simple as editing the document files on your local
machine and then typing "fossil commit". No logging into servers or
taking other actions are necessary to publish - publication is automatic.

Thanks Richard. I do really like that feature - though if the
branching/merging features worked for documentation that would be even
better, and even better if the embedded wiki supported branching/merging
within the embedded wiki! That would be a thing of beauty.
Unfortunately, I'm not enough of a code monkey to do that myself.
Meanwhile, for the documentation I'm working on, I'm looking more at
stuff that comes out in DocBook format, with indexing and such. So I'm
thinking more of treating individual pages as something to be edited and
version controlled, with auto assembly into the current live version -
hence my interest in Scott's tool chain.
Thanks,
Miles
