[mkgmap-dev] Patch to update documentation for splitter

Fri Apr 5 14:55:08 BST 2024

Hi Ticker,

thanks for checking. I also don't know where those doc files are used or how a man file should be installed.
I'd be happy to drop any doc which is of no use.

I've committed r654 for now. Not sure what to do with your version of splitter.txt.

Gerd

Hi Gerd

The unix man entry looks fine

$ man -l ${splitterSvn}/trunk/doc/splitter.1

but I don't know how anyone would be expected to find and use it unless it gets
installed with the other man pages

dist/doc/splitter.txt and .html generated with mwconf from doc/splitter.txt are
attached; I don't know if you need either or both before committing the change,
but I doubt if you need the .html version - www.mkgmap.org.uk should re-generate
it in the correct context.

I have no idea how splitter.1.xml is used
