phpBB 3.0 Documentation backend

[ElbertF]

Does anyone have a clue which XML editor is used for the phpBB 3.0 Documentation? By looking at the source code, I suspect it wasn't written by hand.

According to the meta tag, "DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.70.1" is the generator. Isn't DocBook just a DTD?

edit: I found a list of validating editors.. I'll try XXE.

It can be written in any text editor you want, it's XML after all. Most of us are using oXygen XML because it has a docbook environment included and is a fantastic XML editor.

XXE wasn't bad, but I'll try oXygen XML. Thanks.

Altova's XML Spy was pretty good for features and seemed like a nice enough interface, but for some reason I didn't enjoy using it as much as Textpad and uninstalled it. I'll have to try some others.

The actual output you see and read is generated using nothing more fancy than xsltproc on the command line, and I know that at least part of it was written in vi

Follow the link in spambot's first post.

Something curious, docbook xslt does not seem to allow chunking into multiple directories.
However, the phpBB documentation is separated into multiples directories.

Did the phpBB documentation had to be separated into multiples directories manually ?

Read up on dbhtml:

Code: Select all

 <chapter id="admin_guide">
       <?dbhtml dir="adminguide" filename="index.html" ?>

You can set this value for each section or chapter. the above means that the directory in which this chapter will be transformed to is adminguide and the filename of the start page inside this directory is index.html. If not set, the filename would be the id of the element (adminguide in this case) and the directory the root one.

This works without any further modifications.

Thanks !

However, is it possible to get the xml source of the documentation ?
