Thanks, I'm going to email Jeroen and Neil and see if I can't get started helping them out, or at least sit down over ICQ or IRC and get up to speed :). > My only suggestion would be that we try to use HTML (as a target > format, not a source format of course) whenever possible so that > we can leverage off this "WEB" thing I keep hearing about. :) Oh, you mean that thing Al Gore invented? I was reading (briefly) the info on doxygen and it seems you can give it args to create man pages too! :). Nothing better then going into foo.c and running accross bar() and not see any info, then opening up your fav browser or doing man bar :). I'll have to read more on doxygen and find some other comment -> html utils and see if theres any better ones out there. I'd like to start helping out immeditely but it doesn't look like I will be able to until I find a job and even once I do find a job, I'll more then likely be moving to Atlanta, GA from Memphis, TN. We shall see. Daryl. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
