Today I use forrest to create an application's user manual. Most of
the information I use to create this documentation is based on use
cases specifications, but this specification has some information that
aren't appropriated to end users. So today I keep two different
documents, one for developers and other for end users (this last one
using forrest)..
So I'd like to unify these two documents and keep it all on Forrest's
format... then, developers will see the full content while end users
will receive the same files without some sections...
I have a similar need. I had thought that forrest:views[1] might
provide the answer to the above users and my questions, but I'm not
certain.
In my case, I wanted to enable a system where information could be
collapsed for end users, but they could click the Heading to toggle
visibility:
<h3 onclick="document.getElementById
("someAdvancedUserContent").style.visibility == 'collapse' ?
document.getElementById("someAdvancedUserContent").style.visibility =
'visible' : document.getElementById
("someAdvancedUserContent").style.visibility = 'collapse';">heading
for advanced user content</h3>
<div id="someAdvancedUserContent"
style="visibility:collapse;">advanced user content</div>
Perhaps I could control the visibility through some sort of CLASS
suffix. There is also the problem of alternative outputs (e.g., PDF),
where this system might have problems. In the case of PDF, a setting
could be available in skinconf.xml to give the option of omitting the
hidden sections, or enable them.
Am I understanding forrest:views correctly? Or is there more to it?
