Subject:Copyediting Eclipse cheat sheets? From:Judith Broadhurst <jbroadhu -at- us -dot- ibm -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Tue, 19 Dec 2006 12:29:57 -0800
Hi, people. I'm trying to find someone -- tech writer or editor -- who can
help me find a workable solution for copyediting Eclipse cheat sheets, but
without doing it in Eclipse. The source files are in XML, which we're used
to editing in for IBM developerWorks. However, we don't have and haven't
been able to find out how to get the XML schema or DTD for the cheat
sheets, which means we can't use XML Spy, for instance. We can't check to
see if files are well-formed or validate date them without at least the
schema, and we can't even tell what tags are allowed and not in their
setup. The PDE, which Eclipse.org calls the editing tool for the cheat
sheets, is not for this kind of editing.
Does anyone have experience writing or editing Eclipse cheat sheets?
They're fairly new, and nobody considered the problems of copyediting them,
so the whole process is a mess that's not working for anybody. Thanks for
any and all help.
