The format and presentation of information about a software package is or should
|
|
be absolutely separate from the structure of the information itself. If the
|
|
information is stored in a "proper" way, the various formats such as -h --help
|
|
you suggest would be extractable subsets. So would complete man pages, info
|
|
pages, doc-book howtos doc-book manuals parts of faqs and fecs (frequently
|
|
executed commands) and any other sort of documentation view you can dream up.
|
|
|
|
The point is to have documentation sources that can be processed by a program to
|
|
produce ANY format of documentation desired. What this format should be is
|
|
something that needs work. I don't believe it exists yet.
|
|
|
|
Some questions:
|
|
|
|
Is XML a good tool for modeling the structure of data? Is SGML? Is doc-book
|
|
the definitive data type definition for documentation? Is Doc-Book future
|
|
version 2? future version 3? Who's working on the next steps?
