Ah, Ian gives me the opening I've been looking for...
I've recently become the managing editor of Py, the Python print journal

Earlier this afternoon I committed an auto-reload feature to Webware
CVS. I'd like to credit Tavis Rudd, who provided the initial
implementation for this feature. Here are the details:

When you access /WK you're accessing the AppServer, and it's reading
from the "default" context -- when you install Webware, this is the
Examples context (in WebKit/Examples). And it accesses the index or
Main servlet in this context (since you didn't give a servlet name
either). You can add a co

I kinda like just using HTML with simple styles for documentation, as we are
now. It works, it's easy to edit by hand, and it's just one less thing to
learn.
You're right, it's the content that's lacking, not the formatting. I don't
really care one way or the other if we split it up or leave it
Personally I find that I can write the fastest when I write in XML
because I do not have to think at all about the layout.
But the fundamental problem is the content. I would not mind compiling a
list somewhere of what docs we need. I would reccomend that we all work
towards a single book. Co
Hi -
I'm new to this list and while I just barely have scratched the surface
of Webware (and python for that matter), I would be glad to take files
in XML format and generate the HTML documentation using XSLT.
Unfortunately I've had a lot of problems generating output with the

Yeah, reST is little weird to learn thoroughly, though the basic

Hi,
I talked a few months back about a book, but it never seemed to get any traction. I'm
big on Xml / Xsl, and am very willing to lend myself to a project like this.
With Python you want the gnome / libxml2 & libxslt python bindings. They are
fantastic.

I'm willing to try reST or an XML format.
One thing I do like about HTML with styles is that anyone can contribute to
the documentation with just their favorite text editor and a web browser.
Whatever solution we use should be very easy to install and use, and I'd
like to see a "documentation how-

I also recommend using the Gentoo stylesheets. I've been working with them for a year now, and have found them to be lighter / easier to write to than DocBook.

I forgot to mention, the documentation tools need to work on Windows. Not
everyone uses Linux to work with Webware.

Please comment on this plan:
1) We need content to be written / collected
- I will try to organize something in the next week or so
2) Docstrings will continue to be used in order to describe API's and
classes. (This will be lifted into the appendix section of the Webware
book)
3) Other docs

Yes, there's sgml-mode. Supplied with a DTD,
It sounds like there are two different needs being discussed
for documentation. The first need is
an easy way for core Webware developers to quickly
document the software as it develops in an organized, complete but easy to use
way that doesn’t require a lot of effort. Second is a formatti

I just posted a new version of the Webware pop-up calendar tutorial that
I mentioned here about 5 months ago.
I rushed the end because I wanted to put it up, but take a look and let
me know what you think.
