Re: [sc-dev] p tags in docs

[Andrea Valle <valle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Still, there's a major, higher issue here. 

We want to maintain the domination of macosx in terms of ease of use.

That's ok (I'm on mac).

But  cocoa compatible  html generation (Helper mimics it) is really a bad trick IMHO.

The coloring isn't a problem.  afaik you can put as much bells'n

whistles you want (at least spans with colors etc) inside pre blocks as

well.  Automatic translation would take some thinking though.

Ive run through all the html-files ive found inside Html with a sed

script, and looked at a few of them from some SC_Help:w3m buffer, they

look much better now.  Ill see if i can upload an archive to a webpage.

Check http://www.notam02.no/~andersvi/SC-Help-files.tar.bz2 in a while.

Im not sure how various developers generate the html which gets

included, but i guess a translation-script could be handy for others as

well.  This script only substitutes the p-tags for now.

Using <pre>'s (difficult?)  and changing the Helper class (easy) comes

later.  See comments to begin with for applying to a directory-tree (ie

build//Help):

<rehtmlize>

I guess the files could be operated on 'in place', but im not too sure

about shell-programming in general, and especially escaping white-spaces

in file-names...
