Perhaps, something like xqDoc ... http://xqdoc.org ?

The project has become a bit stale, but after attending the user conference 
this past week, I was a bit surprised as to how many people were actually using 
the tool.  So, I plan on updating some of the functionality later this 
summer/fall.  If there are some specific requirements/features that this group 
would like added, please let me know.  Keep in mind, that the goal is to keep 
xqDoc vendor neutral ... one of the reasons why I never added a full-text 
search capability.

With that said, we used to have XQuery scripts that we ran against the XPath 
F&O HTML documentation and the MarkLogic HTML documentation.  These scripts 
generated xqDoc XML for the 'functions' which could then be hyperlinked (used 
by, what functions used, etc.) and became a great learning tool for XQuery (in 
my opinion).  Of course, it would be easier if MarkLogic would provide xqDoc 
XML for their functions ... it got to be a pain updating the screen scraping 
scripts as the ML web site changed.  Anyway, the site has some examples 
(http://xqdoc.org/enhanced/default.html).

If others are interested in participating to help enhance xqDoc, your time 
would be greatly appreciated ... just drop me a note.

Darin.

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Documentation suggestion: more hyperlinking!
 
Danny,
It would be nice if the documentation could have a lot more hyperlinking to
the reference material.  Both within the API reference documentation itself
(linking from examples, for instance, when a function is used -- to it's
reference doc) and from the PDFs to the reference document.
I guess it's probably not trivial, but it's something to think about for the
future, or maybe for an open source project.  It would certainly make using
the docs *much* easier, IMO.

Chris
