TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
About the Javadocs: you've basically got three choices with respect to the
columns, none pleasant. 1) Search/replace all the generated HTML files every
time you generate Javadoc -- look in the HTML and figure out what needs to
be changed (e.g., change TD widths from 20% to 10%, or whatever); 2) do some
Java programming (better yet, get somebody else to do it) -- you'd need to
change the standard doclet, either subclassing the appropriate classes (I
think this stuff is in the HtmlWriter class) and then overriding methods, or
copying the whole standard doclet and creating your own version. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/javadoc/overview.html and http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/javadoc/standard-doclet.html for
details) 3) Use an HTML editor to manually rework the docs (again, you'd
have to do this every time you generated).
Or you could just live with it...[ding ding ding]
