Today I heard that HV manual ("Secrets") is not updated so often, or
much less than wiki.
So, my point is that it could be easier to start from wiki and merge
cinelerra.texi with it.
My irc suggestion was to use something like txt2tags (see
http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/features.html)
which has simple markup and produces many output formats (XHTML, LaTeX
etc.), and can be automatized (command tool is available) and it is
multi-platform written in Python.
It is simple enough that no special markup-training is required for new
doc-contributors, and, at the same time, allowing us to produce offline
manual (eg. HV doc is often very slow) to be used with (idea from
another post) Cinelerra's Help button.
Finally, having LaTeX means getting 1st class PDF output for offline
use.
I am not attached for specific tool, but I vote for offline HTML editor
launchable via Help button and 1st quality PDF.
Let's discuss how to achieve it!
Sincerely,
Gour
