Mac OS 9 Discussion > Development & Programming

I made Modern API Documentation for Mac OS 9.

IoIxD:
Late response, but how have you been using it?

I actually underestimated how hard it is to do this and have been using it alongside THINK Reference 2.0; in fact, I've mostly been using TR 2.0, only using my own site because it has a better search function.

I need to transfer everything from TR 2.0. I got about 70% there with a script, but I need to fix a lot of the files after doing that and there's still a lot of undocumented stuff because I can't automatically transfer stuff.

Most impressive work! I should help me get back to coding classic Mac stuff; I will need all the help I can get  :-[

About lack of documentation from Apple, I wonder if (1) They just never shared it or (2) they belong to that group of programmers (that I know very well) who think "my code is self-documenting!" I am looking at you Perl coders!

This is very cool.

Do you have plans of removing the PDF layer and just use plain HTML?

[update]

I just noticed you used the header files to extract the content. Is it possible to generate the text as some sort of markup and make these editable in a separate repo?

I picture it like a bunch of HTML pages that can be decorated with some JS to highlight code examples and things like that and we would be able to fork it, add content, examples or link other pages and just raise PRs and keep it nice and tidy. Is it doable?
