I'm sure that somebody familiar with XML (which I'm afraid doesn't include

Or is the problem actually XML in this case, i.e. it's obvious that we want
to extract the short description but that leaves an uncertain context?
The short description is not a problem. But the "Returns" "Deletes" "Reduces"
etc ?
IMHO that is overkill. It only works comprehensively for a handful routines.
Well, a set of "tags" (not in XML sense, but in keyword sense)
for each routine would be sufficient. This can be added easily,
but the main problem is updating the many thousands of existing
identifiers.
Categorizing routines, with subcategs if need be will be trouble enough,
specially if you want to do it future proof (and also be able to flag the static
method approach that Delphi current favours)
OK, that was totally chinese. I'll have to ask my chinese pillow to translate
this.
