Subject: RDoc now generates .chm files


If you're a Windows user, and if you have Microsoft's HTML Help
Compiler installed, you can now use RDoc to generate .chm files (the
new Window's help format).

   rdoc  --fmt chm  --opname myapp  README lib/

will generate doc/myapp.chm containing documentation from the README
and all source files in lib/.

This is experimental, and is only available from cvs. As I know
absolutely nothing about Windows _or_ chm, I'd welcome all comments
and suggestions.

Also... should anyone be feeling artistic, I'd really like to add
icons to the contents listings. To do this I need an iconstrip
containing

   Image 1    closed File information
   Image 2    open File information
   Image 3    new closed File information
   Image 4    new open File information
   Image 5    closed Class/Module information
   Image 6    open Class/Module information
   Image 7    new closed Class/Module information
   Image 8    new open Class/Module information
   Image 9    method information
   Image 10   a Ruby (optional - just might be nice to have)

No idea how you represent the concept of a class or module in a 16x16
bitmap :)


Cheers
