There was question of plan for transtion. My short term plans
are as follows:
- Convert .spad.pamphlet files to just Spad files. In particular
they should compile just using Spad compiler. As a preparation
I am changing files so that single Spad domain is in single
noweb chunk. This is someting like 90% done, the main
to-do files are distro.spad.pamphlet, hashstate.spad.pamphlet,
tensor.spad.pamphlet, xhash.spad.pamphlet. At this stage
I am putting larger text sections inside ')if false' and
')endif' commands so that text is ignored by Spad compiler.
I think that shortly after release we will be able to get
rid of notangle and noweb markup. Of course, there will
be longer term effort to clean text sections. Some of them
should go to user documentation in .htex files. Some may be
basis for algorithm documentation in separte files. Some will
probably stay close to code.
- regenerate Axiom Book from .htex files. Also, produce version
for the web. Ralf did good job in this direction, I feel that
it remains to do only very little. Actually, I would like to
have most of current .ht files in .htex form, but this is larger
effort.
ATM I would like to keep .htex format as our main documentation
format. It is TeX based, so it is really quite standard format
(modulo preprocessing to include output from FriCAS commands, etc.).
At least in principle it can easily produce other major formats as
output.
ATM I have no plans to do it, but relatively easy task is to
produce static web version of Browser info. Note that this
make sense only as an automatic procedure, because any
"one time" convertion will soner or later get out of date.
Ugly version could be easily done running ')show' command
for all constructors. But I think that any sensible version
would do more (for example capture output sent from AXIOMsys
to HyperDoc and convert to html).
