Here's an offer to collaborate on documentation.

My personal pain points?

  1. the search function isn't what it could be.
  2. the organization is a little hard for a newcomer to sort out.
  3. there's a blue stripe ... looks like a panel separator ... right in the middle of doc pages.

Still, I'll work on anything needing it.

Hi, thanks for your offer.

the search function isn't what it could be.

The documentation has been generated with ApiGen 2.8.0 with a custom template and the search functionality totally depends on the ability that ApiGen provides.

the organization is a little hard for a newcomer to sort out.

I'm not following what you mean.

there's a blue stripe ... looks like a panel separator ... right in the middle of doc pages.

Can you post a screenshot? Maybe it is a problem of the documentation generator.

By the way, I have renewed my development environment and tried to install ApiGen but somehow got dependency issues and unable to install it. We should find another documentation generator and host those generated files on GitHub Pages so we can leave search functionality to search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and so on. This way, collaborators can update the documentation whenever possible.

The reason I used ApiGen 2.8.0 is that it supported the @package annotation to be parsed like @package AdminPageFramework/Utility and create corresponding sub-sections in the resulted pages. When I tried some tools several years ago, most of them did not support it.

We have to find a good documentation generator first. If you find a good one, let me know. If we cannot find a good one, then I have another idea.
