APH> Are you talking about suggesting we extend the doc-base format? I#m suggesting a new file format for all programs (dwww, dhelp, dwww- index).

Well, a URL would be a very good idea: File: http://www.debian.org Great :). Should we use "File:"? Maybe "URL: " would be better? APH> > Link: foo1 HOWTO APH> What is link? It#s the text for the link to the document, called <linkname> in .dhelp. APH> > Title: Section Title for special sections (opt.)

The latest entered title is used. This option is really necessary (see .dhelp in my doc-html-w3 package). APH> The section title should not be intermeshable with the APH> document registration control fields. Well take for example doc-html-w3. The package includes several documents. Instead of registering one index.html (like dwww does) in dhelp you would register every root document: <directory>web/w3 <dtitle>Documents of the W3 organisation <filename>html4.html <directory>web/w3 <filename>pic.html <diretory>web/w3 <filename>html32.html And so on. And web/w3 is a new <diretory> not mentioned in the dhelp standard. Or take for example a FAQ package. Do you think, it would be a good idea to use only <directory>FAQ, if you install 100 FAQs? In this case, it#s better to use "FAQ/programming", "FAQ/cooking", etc. cu, Marco -- Uni: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fido: 2:240/5202.15 Mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.tu-harburg.de/~semb2204/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
