Hi Paul, You are right, but you can create high quality documentation in PDF, HTML (other format?) from one source files. Wiki is interesting for user tips and general informations, LaTeX/RST format is better for a kind of "official" and high quality documentation. It is also easier to translate it : diff files, check a ML to see changes made in english/original files hosted in svn, etc. Y. translator of GDAL-OGR, Cartoweb and ImageMagic documentation into French ;) -- Yves Jacolin --- http://softlibre.gloobe.org _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
