Hi,
Where I work, we have a growing set of documentation to support the
software the company produces, where we are presently supporting
documentation for two major versions of the software, several minor
versions, plus some custom plug-ins.
We need a method for creating unique document IDs, where we can easily
identify the software version, the date the documentation was produced,
and some way of describing any customizations. It may sound as if we
could easily devise a code to describe these variables, but what we are
looking for is an industry standard, if such exists, for resolving this
problem.
If anybody can help, I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Brian Shaw
