I think it is not that difficult,i used it also for a small project creating
Pages based on a query from a mysql- Database. I am not a
programmer and have "only basic" programming skills. And i don't
know how dirty the code was ;)
IMHO It is not more difficult than scripting in linux or writing
javascript. But it is a new language so for any "newbie" it take
some time . At www.php.net you can find good documentation.
I hope to create a small page in the next days for demonstration
purpose.
To your second question, You can see an xml document as a
small Database.
When you look at Docbook documents you have a title a chapter
and so on. Exactly this structure is it, you can use for your pages,
which don't have to be to complicated
First page from a faq for example
selecting all where paragraph is question
display
Selected one of the items the next page
select the page where paragraph is "selected question"
and display the answer .
So for all the different Faq answers we create 1 page.
If the whole Documentation should be maintained as a Database is
another question .
For some parts of the Documentation it could be an advantage to
have a Database. Allthough you can see xml documents as a
database as well. I 'll think a little about my answer :)
sorry if somethings are a little "foreign spoken" . I'm writing a lot
german letters at the momen :)
