Re: [sc-dev] [Comments?]XML doc? Fwd: html doc

[Scott Wilson <sdwilson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd be willing to implement this in Cocoa, including a panel or sheet 
to edit tags. This would make it almost as easy to do doc as it is now, 
and have the advantages of consistency, maintainability, and ease of 
conversion, i.e. update html versions en masse for the swiki. Any 
scripts in other languages would only be necessary to convert for 
viewing in some other context, like a web browser, although that could 
be done in Cocoa or SC as well. But if people won't use it it's not 
worth bothering. Any objections?

The idea of doing the doc in SC is interesting. Maybe even a HelpFile 
class?
