At present, all I'm doing is knocking together a quick command-line utility to convert MonoDoc->MS-XML. Eventually this will be rolled into Ndoc core; MonoDocs will become a 'native' format and users will be able to freely mix whichever format they have at hand :)
There are some complications. The most notable is that MS-XML covers a whole assembly in one file whereas (from what I've seen) MonoDocs are split by Type. The MonoDoc format is less complex than the NDoc internal XML, so creating a MonoDoc documenter should not be a major issue. The only part that would be complex is the ILASM and C# signatures; This is one of the most complex parts in the current documenters' xslt - for the next major release I am looking to provide a much cleaner mechanism. regards, Kevin --- "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity" > -----Original Message----- > From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 29 April 2004 11:57 PM > To: Rodolfo Campero; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Mono-docs-list] Translator from monodoc XML > format to Microsoft XML format > > Hi, > > Kevin Downs (NDoc team) has already started working on an > NDoc documenter that will convert MS XML format to Monodoc. > It would be great if the conversion from Monodoc (ECMA) to MS > XML format could be implemented as an NDoc documenter too. > > Gert > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Rodolfo Campero" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 3:45 PM > Subject: [Mono-docs-list] Translator from monodoc XML format > to Microsoft XML format > > > > FYI > > > > > > >From: "Rodolfo Campero" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED], > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Question about attributes > > >Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 13:37:28 +0000 > > > > > >Hi Joshua, > > >I already know XSLT, so I will give it a shot this afternoon (it's > > >10:30 > am > > >here in Argentina, I will start working on it at 19:00). > > >Also I will subscribe to mono-docs-list right now, so I will posts > > >questions there if I have to. > > >I would like to know who should I refer to when I get something > > >usable, > in > > >order to make it part of mono or monodoc. > > >Best regards, > > >Rodolfo > > > > > > > > >>From: Joshua Tauberer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >>To: Rodolfo Campero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >>CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], > > >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >>Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Question about attributes > > >>Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2004 09:21:26 -0400 > > >> > > >>Rodolfo Campero wrote: > > >>>I don't know if there is some effort to create a translator from > > >>>monodoc XML format to Microsoft XML documentation format.
