<h1>About This Manual</h1><p>
|
|
|
|
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 :
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Raw HTML was produced using Framemaker 5 and Quadralay WebWorks Lite.
|
|
<li> Tables and figures were converted into GIF images.
|
|
<li> 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.
|
|
<li> A table of contents and alphabetized topic index were produced from
|
|
HTML heading tags by the same script.
|
|
<li> Each <TT>.html</TT> file was manually prefixed with the
|
|
"<!DOCTYPE html ..." jazz (boilerplate).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
While the conversion process is mostly complete, there are a few things
|
|
to keep in mind :
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Some sections of preformatted text may have weird formatting
|
|
problems.
|
|
<li> Framemaker tables were converted into GIF images instead
|
|
of HTML tables--this is a little weird, but the easiest
|
|
approach for now.
|
|
<li> 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).
|
|
<li> 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.
|
|
</ul>
