Once I finish documenting things in Dosxygen, that's pretty much what we'll have, but with he addition of comments.  What I did was add some anchors to the texi documenation for the Game Description Language Refererence Manual so I could add a GDL Reference section to each function that will list the GDL elements used gby that function.  So, for exaple, in the do_disband_action function I can cross reference the properties acp_to_disband property, and allow he user to clink on that item and be taken to the part of the GDL reference manula that descrbes that property from the GDL Reference for that property.  eventually, I'd like to cross refernce all the other manuals that apply, but one step at a time.

I'm still working on a wayto document the .def files, which turns out to be moderatly important tounderstanding the code.  What I may have to do is create some special .hfiles int the doc directory, and rnun the C preprocessor on them, then do amerge with a documentation file if they change.

Thee is stilla bug in that I'm getting both the @ifinfo and @ifhtml parts of text I havein the texi files, but I think that will be fixed fairly soon.  Onedisagvantage of the newer texi2html program is that it visually splits thehtml file into sections, but doesn't physically split it into .html files.>>> But I feel that being able to crsoss reverence code and the manulas is auseful capability in the documenation, so I'm putting some work into beingable to do it.  Mostly adding invisible anchors for ever GDL @deffn section.I'd sue texi2html's anchors, but if you re-arrange, add, or remove sectionsor definitions, the tags change.  And you can't guess what they'll be aheadof time, whereas I'm using the convention of "GDL_ref_xxxx" where xxx is thename of the variable, form, table, ...  So for example acp_to_disband wouldhave the anchor "GDL_ref_acp-to-disband">> Oh, if anyone can convert jpg's to eps's, Id appreaciate them converting acouple of files for me to replace some to the "crude text" images for latexversions of the manuals>>>>>> _______________________________________________> Can a Web portal forever change your life?> Win up to $25 Million on iWon - click here!>
