docbook restructure

BJ Freeman
we have two focuses on the Docbook usages
1)whole document for user and technical
2)help screens for individual screens.

our current structure is each component has a documents folder then
data/datahelp folder.

suggest that the documents folder file be a book, one for user and one
for technical, for that component.
the top file,for user and technical, in data/datahelp/ would be Chapter.
For the user manual, each help screen be a file that is one or more
sections with id to match entity field names.

This would allow a book be generated per component for both User and
technical.
for #1 they top book for say user docs would point to the top level file
in data/datahelp/ so each component would be chapter.

#2 the book gets complied for that component help files as defined in
the documents folder. the anchors will used to access the section that
deals with the screen. This also lets us expand the help to field level
by adding an anchor for entities field names.

I will be glad to do this on my demo to show response times if any one
is interested.

if no input will refactor the content component and current help system
to use this.

Re: docbook restructure

so if the demo works you have no suggestions or changes.
dislike putting in the effort then get the suggestions and changes

You asked if someone was interested, so am I. I must say it's not easy to review something with only some sentences. But the idea of
separating users from devs documenation sounds good to me.
Anyway it seemed that you were ready to do it for "the content component and current help system to use this". This could be your
demo

Re: docbook restructure

BJ Freeman
see I still have to work on my written communication skills.
:D
stated two things:
1) i would demo if interested, meaning I would code then demo.
2) looking to see if any one had input before I coded. so I would not
have to change later.

so wanted to make sure you did not have any #2.
