DOCDWR ------ This project contains the documentation for DWR. The documentation is stored in HTML files suitable for editing in any HTML editor. There is a publishing process that prepares the files (by adding certain header/footer/menu elements) License ------- This project is not currently open sourced. All rights to the documentation provided is preserved by its authors. This means that you do not have the right to redistribute, build on, copy or publish any of the material in this project. The official publishing location is under http://directwebremoting.org/ How to build files for publishing --------------------------------- Just run the template/main/java/org.directwebremoting.doc.template.Generate class. It requires a program argument of the location of the docs. That builds out the docs in a target/publish dir. Editing Rules ------------- In order to ensure that the publishing process works properly, there are some rules for editing the documentation. MUST means that failure to follow this rule will break the publishing process, possibly in hard to detect ways. SHOULD means that failure to follow the rule is likely to thwart future changes to the publishing process. - All links MUST be relative - All pages SHOULD have an HTML5 doctype: <!DOCTYPE html> - All pages MUST be stored with a .html file extension - All elements/attributes SHOULD be valid html5 - In addition to normal html5 rules, the documents SHOULD be well-formed XML (although they should not include an XML declaration <?xml version="1.0"... and they do not need to be valid beyond the html5 rules) This may help us process the documents using XSL or similar in the future - All directories MUST contain an index.html file that links to all of the HTML files within that directory - All images/css/js should be stored in the dwr/media directory - Page titles SHOULD be succinct, particularly in index.html files, because they are used in the breadcrumbs and menu structure - Keep to the same formatting style as the html around you. In general this means that most content will be formatted with a paragraph on a single line with open and closing tags on the same line. Paragraphs are then separated by a single blank line. This style means that the HTML is fairly readable in any text editor that supports word wrapping. In general elements other than tables are not indented. When indenting use 2 space characters and no tabs - Please keep the HTML very simple For the most part p/h1/h2/h3/a/strong/pre/code are all the tags you should need - We have defined 3 extra meta elements: - <meta name='alias' content='/path/to/old/content'> This allows us to generate apache.conf files that reduce 404s. This line is in effect a 'COME_FROM'. And you thought GOTO was evil .... - <meta name='weight' content='-5'> Heavier items (bigger numbers) sink down menus. The default is 0 - <meta name='navTitle' content='Short Desc'> The side navigation needs to be compact when the actual page title may be better being more expressive. This allows us to override the official title - If you want to move a page from one location to another, please: - Ensure that all inbound links point to the new location - In the header of the moved document, add a line that points to the old location This enables us to create an Apache config file that prevents needless 404s Templating Process ------------------ The templating process reads the source files in docs/web, and then writes them to target/template with additional templating. A source page is of roughly the following format HEADER LINES *</head> * *<body.* BODY LINES *</body> * *</html> There are then 3 insertion points. - At the end of the header (used for inserting additional css/scripts/etc.) - At the top of the body (header/breadcrumbs) - At the bottom of the body (footer/menu/scripts/etc) There are, then 7 parts to the output document - Page Header Everything in the source page up to (but not including) </head> Stored in the Page.header member variable - Template Header Insert Fetched from the getTemplateHeaderInsert() method - Page Neck Everything in the source page from </head> to <body> (inclusive) Stored in the Page.neck member variable - Template PreBody Insert Fetched from the getTemplatePreBodyInsert() method - Page Body Everything from <body> to </body> (exclusive) Stored in the Page.body member variable - Template Post Body Insert Fetched from the getTemplatePostBodyInsert() method - Page Close Everything from </body> (inclusive) to the end of the document Stored in the Page.close member variable Probably equal to the fixed string </body>\n</html>\m In addition, the following details are extracted for use in templating and redirect generation: - Document title <title>***</title> - Page Aliases <meta name="alias" value="PATH-TO-OLD-LOCATION"> - File path
