Hi Jeremy,
* No easy way to make a book other than
docbookwiki_guide the default
-> Fixed, set DEFAULT_BOOK at books.conf.
* Editing the menu using the Web interface still
doesn't seem to work
-> It works for me (I tested it with the latest svn
revision though).
Make sure that you click "Apply Changes". Then,
make sure as well
that you refresh the page where the menu is
displayed, otherwise
the browser will use the cached menu, although the
menu on the
server has been changed.
* No easy way to disable the menus if you only want to
use one document
-> I could provide an easy way for this, e.g. by
adding an additional
variable at books.conf, however I think that
DocBookWiki is intended
for many books, so whoever wants to use it for just
one book, he
has to customize it manually. Anyway, I am going to
think about this.
* All the links are Javascript, it doesn't get indexed
by search engines
-> This is a feature request which most likely will
never be satisfied.
DocBookWiki is based on the phpWebApp framework,
and this is how the
framework works. To satisfy this request, either
the framework has to
be modified or it has to be replaced by another
framework.
However, DocBookWiki itself does index the content
and it can be searched.
So, I think that the search engines could be
modified to get the
index generated by DocBookWiki and to
integrate/merge it with their
indexes. This would be even more efficient for them
because they
don't have to crawl and index my content, instead
they get it ready.
This would be something like distributed indexing
and searching.
* Graphics still don't work for me; here is my
original code:
-> Jeremy, I think that you import your document which
you have created by
other tools. However you should know that
DocBookWiki does not support
all the features of DocBook. It only supports a
very small subset of
DocBook, and some of them should even follow
certain conventions (further
restrictions). In general, DocBookWiki will never
be able to support all
of the features of DocBook, and not even too many
of them; it will always
be able to support a very small subset of DocBook.
One of the reasons is
that wiki markup has restrictions in expressing too
many things and is
difficult to be parsed.
Comming back to your image problem, I think that
the @fileref of <imagedata>
does not follow the DocBookWiki conventions. The
convention is:
fileref="media/chap_id/sect_id/sect_id/filename.png"
The media files (images etc.) are imported in a tar
file, where they are
stored in directories and subdirectories according
to the sections and
subsections. I think that this is also explained
somehow in the guide.
* No easy way for front matter not to appear on the
front page in full
-> Do you mean the "Preface"? You should organize it
as a chapter (or section)
with id "preface" or something meaningfull. I do
the same thing for the
appendix as well. Maybe it is possible to extend
DocBookWiki to handle
other DocBook tags like <preface>, <appendix> etc.
but is it really neccessary?
Anyway it cannot continue endless, the line has to
be drawn somewhere:
some of the DocBookWiki features will be supported,
most of them will be not.
