Document the XML tags used to describe Wayland protocols. Previously we only had the informal specification in the Protocol chapter, and the DTD. Better late than never. I have looked into wayland-scanner and libwayland for various limitations documented here possibly for the first time. I have also forbid things that are not in use or are known broken, including unspecified interface for a new_id in an event, or an object argument with an unspecified interface. I did investigate writing a RELAX NG compact schema for Wayland and documenting everything there, then generating DocBook XML from it. However, it seems generating documentation from schema is actually really complicated. I found these tools: - xs3p stylesheet: website looks dead, though Sourceforge still has it. Produces XHTML, not DocBook. Has an unfamiliar license. - xsddoc: the authors wrote that XSLT is not really sufficient, so they abandoned this approach and went for Java to create xnsdoc. - xnsdoc: seems to be proprietary licensed, although one could ask for a free license for a FLOSS project. All in all, it seems to be much easier to just write the documentation in DocBook, copying the strcture from the DTD manually, than to generate it. It's not doing to change often, anyway. It also allowed me to leverage DocBook syntax in full. Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Pekka Paalanen <pekka.paalanen@collabora.com> |
