Since the official X Consortium documentation is already extant in the source tree, and since the formats aren't standardized for this anyway (some is in text only, some is in troff+ms macros, some is in FrameMaker (for some weird reason, and totally useless to Freenix folk)), I think it'd be a very good idea to do so. Maybe just add a new xc/doc/xfree86 directory and put everything specific to XFree86 in there. Whatever formats are available. Plain text, SGML/DocBook, PostScript, troff, TeX... It's all pretty anarchic anyway. > Currently, the DRI extension encoding can only be found at > http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/dri_extensions_low_level.txt And hunting this sort of stuff down from the existing docs, even from the XFree86 web page, is not exactly obvious... :-( 'james -- James A.
