Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: molvisions (molvisions) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: jmoldoc Initial Comment: hi, the Jmol scripting language has grown quite complex since it reached and surpassed the RasMol/Chime set. I would like to suggest that some form of built-in documentation be considered. the most useful format for inline documentation, in my opinion, would follow the same lines as perldoc and javadoc; in other words, syntax would be available from within the Jmol scripting window as: jmoldoc select jmoldoc faq etc. any thoughts? tim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2007-02-20 12:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082841 Originator: NO perhaps. We have the help command, which you may not be aware of help select help chime etc. That works specifically for the applet and works by opening a new window to the help documentation with a search for the designated term. In *MY* opinion, this is far better than in-line documentation, because it gets you the full context of the help documentation, with examples and all, rather than just a statement or two that might or might not answer your question, and there is no overhead at all in terms of applet download time. Is there an argument that inline would be better?
