(that also has advantages btw, in a previous job I could print A2 (single sheet sideways into an A3 printer), and being able to solve this could be nice) I suggest for now to at least maintain the classchart.ps, simply because the format can easily used as reference for whatever follows. > > Why XML?

Yes, but what you save on the manipulation, you lose on the editing, making it nearly mandatory to make and support a gui tool.

Hence the > inbetween-format. Do you have enough info to generate this from sources, and e.g. tell TP, Delphi and interface hierarchies apart? Then we only need to add a treeview to the gui doc tool so we can add properties there? We then have to define a handy set of properties to control formatting, but probably we need to see the raw output for that first then. > > > > model, but some classes are done. > > > > > > > > Before I start debugging, does sb know what that could be? > > > > > > Not without the failure message... > > > > There was none.

Got an awful deja vu feeling there. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [email protected] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
