[Oorexx-devel] Rexxref build break.

David, Your inheritance table experiment broke the doc build. I'm not completely certain of the error, but I suspect the tgroup tag needs to surround everything rather than being just a standalone tag. Rick -- Rapidly

[Oorexx-devel] 4.2.0 doc updates

2013-12-11 Thread Rick McGuire
Maintaining both trunk and 4.2.0 branches of the docs are starting to become a bit of a pain given the number of updates. David only updated the 4.2.0 branch for his inheritance table work, so they are already out of sync. I propose that for now, we only update the 4.2.0 branch, and then copy

yeah, we can do the back copy on a doc-by-doc basis when the time comes. I'm ok with that. I might even try doing a merge first rather than a replacement to maintain the update histories. Rick On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 9:42 AM, Mark Miesfeld miesf...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at

[Oorexx-devel] Class Diagram Replacements

2013-12-11 Thread David Ashley
All - I have not committed the changes yet but I have what I think will work for replacing the class diagrams with tables. While not an exact replacement it seems to work pretty well and looks better than I expected. Before I commit I want an opinion. Should I delete the diagram files as I go or

I'd say whatever you find easier, since you're doing the work. SVN allows us to recover anything you might delete accidentally and we also have back up in the trunk branch. Rick On Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 12:39 PM, David Ashley w.david.ash...@gmail.comwrote: All - I have not committed the

[Oorexx-devel] ooRexx does nothing visible when installed.

The other day I was enthusing about the advantages of ooRexx to a chap who was well-versed in computer languages. The next time we spoke, he said, Well, I downloaded ooRexx and nothing happened. No icon on the desktop, no nothing. Waste of time imho. I did try to convince him to look at Try

May I suggest that when installation is finnished, bring up the ooRexx ref guide (hopefully pdf reader is installed) or the readMe pdf, for those that doesn't bother to look for what was installed. Maybe a new installation option instead 'tickbox - I want to know what to do after install'

I'm happy with an icon on the desktop .. I can easily delete it, or (more usually) move it to a folder on my desktop where I'll be able to find it easily again. That's good, as I first said, I'm not saying we shouldn't add a desktop icon. But, I'm still not sure what the icon should point to?
