Re: [platform-help-dev] multiple doc.zip
|
In general, I agree that creating separate doc only plug-ins is a good
idea. I've seen products use only a few plug-ins for docs and some that
use many. Both work. If you are just doing it for a standalone system, you
should be ok. You can get to a point where you have so many plug-ins that
the start up time for Eclipse is affected if you have a LOT of plug-ins.
I thought a year ago that I wanted the ability to have more than one zip
file, and the ability to name the file something other than doc.zip, but in
the end it hasn't been any problem.
Thanks, Jeanette

Thanks Christal,
I had thought of this but I wanted to keep everything under one folder,
just like the multiple toc files. However I'm playing with this for a
standalone personal information server, so it was a wild shot.

An alternative solution can be found in the fact that your help does not
need to reside in the same plugin or directory as your code.
For this reason, it is currently possible for you to construct multiple
Help plugins: one for your root level, and one for each of your branches
(e.g., books). Then you can plug-and-play all you want.... each plugin has
its own doc.zip.

During development of documentation you do not have to keep your files in
the doc.zip. Help will find them if they are flat on the file system,
below plug-in directory. Zip them up later.

Please respond to
platform-help-dev
Feature request .. (maybe)
I wish it could be possible to specify multiple doc.zip [api.zip,
readme.zip,]in a plugin just like you can break down the toc into seperate
components.
It's only a wish for me since when you store the documents in the unzipped
format you have a bit more flexibility to swap in and out sections of
document under a directory.
At present if my doc's are contained in doc.zip file I have to do some zip
ip / op tricks to alter the contents of the zip.
just my 2c.
All the best
Mark
