FZ3 documentation engine
Posted: 2004-06-14 07:30
Well, it's interesting to see the progress of FZ3, but what about documentation?
Today's docs engine seems compiled for Windows, which is not-so-good practise when dealing with cross-platform, multilingual software.
I think that the "FZ3 documentation engine" should behave like TheOpenCD v2 behaves. It means all docs are HTML format now, and use a special version of Mozilla called "K-Meleon" to browse them.
K-Meleon and Mozilla has the same gecko engine, but K-Meleon is very light, has no real browser GUI, and intended to be integrated into projects like TheOpenCD v2, or FZ v3.
Since everything is HTML, it's open-standard, works under every platform, and supports multilingual text.
What do you think of it?
