As I kind of expected, there were only a few comments on the "new format" documentation, though maybe I haven't given people enough time. Anyway, I have picked up on some (but not all) of the points that were raised, and improved things just a little bit. If you are still interested, you might like to look at these files:
http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/HowItWorks.txt http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/AdMarkup.txt http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/filter.html http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/filter.info http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/filter.pdf http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/filter.ps.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/filter.txt.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.html.tar.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.info.tar.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.pdf http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.ps.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.txt.bz2 http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~ph10/eximdoc/spec.xml.bz2 The first one is a description of how the XML is processed in various ways in order to produce the final output. The second file describes the AsciiDoc markup that is used. The final file is the XML source; the remainder are the various renditions. Nobody has come shouting "Don't Do It!", so my assumption is that people are prepared to accept the new documentation renditions. It is somewhat of a step back as well as a step forward (I have been unable to refrain from a few mutterings in HowItWorks.txt) but perhaps in the long run we can improve things. Unless anybody now shouts "NO" very quickly, I propose to put all the relevant files into the CVS, and to produce the next edition (4.60, whenever that arrives - it won't be soon) using the new methodology. When that is released, I will arrange to be deaf to complaints that people should have raised at this stage. :-) Speak now, or forever hold your peace.
