An Automated System for the Maintenance of Multiform Documentation

MULTIFORM DOCUMENTATION


The maintenance of a consistent set of software documentation including tutorials, user guide, reference manual and so forth is a difficult task. This is especially true when the documentation exists on paper and in electronic forms such as man pages, hypertext and on-line help, or when the documentation consists of the integration of pieces produced independently, for instance source code examples and their output, database queries, etc. As the software evolves the documentation has to be changed accordingly and the changes have to be propagated in the different incarnations of the documents. The source code examples and their output may themselves be modified by software revisions. It becomes almost impossible to keep the various versions of the documents in step and to maintain their consistency with included examples.
