Here two screenshots from a patch 'rectangle-FR-help.pd' (for help in french about [rectangle] from GEM) and its 'automatic' equivalent in PHP/HTML.
My question is : how do you make that conversion ? because that conversion is based on assumptions, and those assumptions may not be portable between the different conventions for making help patches (various different PDDP templates, the GFDP system, Miller's help, GEM's help, etc)
Do you think it is interresting to keep an online documentation always update from the '*-help.pd' file ?
It's good to the extent that it makes things searchable on google and stuff.
I keep in mind a Mathieu's remark I think it is true/good : "it is better and more simple to make the help directly in the help-patch" (Mathieu, I hope it is a good translation ! ;).
Je me souviens pas d'avoir dit ça de même.
You should check your citations. For my lines, it's easy, I only used email and IRC, no voice. Then I probably was explaining why. I don't especially like my opinions to be quoted without their explanations. I don't tend to value opinions without justifications.
