The HTML version of the SWIG Users Manual is a direct translation
of the printed version which is produced using Framemaker 5. The
conversion process was roughly as follows :
Raw HTML was produced using Framemaker 5 and Quadralay WebWorks Lite.
Tables and figures were converted into GIF images.
All of this output was fed into a magic Python script that cleaned
up the HTML source and merged the GIF figures into the text.
A table of contents and alphabetized topic index were produced from
HTML heading tags by the same script.
While the conversion process is mostly complete, there are a few things
to keep in mind :
Some sections of preformatted text may have weird formatting
problems.
Framemaker tables were converted into GIF images instead
of HTML tables--this is a little weird, but the easiest
approach for now.
There may be a few minor formatting problems throughout
due to minor "glitches" that slipped through the conversion process
(although I've tried to correct as many as these as possible).
The printed version of the SWIG manual is more than
300 pages long--resulting in about 670 Kbytes of HTML. The HTML version
is broken up into chapters. Each chapter is fairly well-contained, but
some may contain as many as 50 pages of printed text.
Please report any problems with the documentation to beazley@cs.utah.edu.
