Torsten, In August this year I loaded NBHelp into Squeak. NBHelp uses the mark-down syntax.
Here is a description how I did it http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2012-August/165587.html (written in markdown :-) ) NBHelp uses PetitParser. You write that you want to have a pluggable design. For a start I think a dependency on PetitParser would not be harmful though the code would be larger. But PetitParser is not all that big either. It helps you to get into action quickly and safely. Later on somebody might want to replace it with a manually written mark down parser. I think there is one in Lukas's wiki code. This then would make the help system self-contained and a bit smaller. As I am concerned I would not have a problem with a dependency on PetitParser. As of now the challenge with the help system is more on the actual writing of documentation and not so much on the tool side. But your work is instrumental to make this happen. Thank you. --Hannes On 11/14/12, Torsten Bergmann <asta...@gmx.de> wrote: > It should be a pluggable design similar to current help > system so one can write in wikistyle, html, markdown, ... > > But we need one default.
