New issue 1028 by pekka.klarck: libdoc should be bundled with Robot
Framework core
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1028
Currently libdoc is distributed as a separate script. That has several
annoyances:
1) You need to download it separately if you want to use it.
2) Because we want to keep all the code in same file, the file has grown
pretty large. If the tool is integrated with Robot, its code can be
organized into submodules.
3) libdoc is dependent on Robot's internal modules and thus changes to
Robot can require changes to libdoc too. That can make different libdoc
versions dependent on Robot versions.
4) Using libdoc with the standalone jar distribution is annoying. If libdoc
is bundled with Robot, adding a separate entry point for it to the jar
distribution is easy (issue 800).
5) Both unit and acceptance testing libdoc is easier if it is bundled with
Robot.
