Doc simplification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the spirit of keeping our documentation simple, maintainable, to the
point and interesting, I have removed part of the 'The Wine DocBook
System' section. That section already describes in quite a bit of detail
how SGML documents are formed and I think that is all that documentation
contributors really need.

We don't need to describe how DSSSL, XSLT, xemacs, db2html or jade work.
More information about these belongs to these tools/systems
documentation, not into a Wine guide.

Changelog:

 * documentation/documentation.sgml

   Remove irrelevant (and incomplete) documentation in 'The Wine DocBook
System' section.
