This manual is written in XML using the DocBook XML DTD, using DSSSL (Document
Style and Semantics Specification Language) for formatting, and
experimentally the XSLT
(Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations)
for maintenance and formatting.
Using XML as a source format gives us
the ability to generate many output formats from the source
files, while only maintaining one source document for all formats.
The tools used for formatting HTML and
TeX versions are
Jade, written by James Clark; and The Modular DocBook Stylesheets,
written by Norman Walsh.
We use Microsoft HTML Help
Workshop to generate the Windows HTML Help format
of the manual, and of course PHP itself to do some
additional conversions and formatting.
You can download the manual in various languages and
formats, including plain HTML,
PDF, PalmPilot DOC, PalmPilot iSilo, and
Windows HTML Help, from
/docs.php.
Note that due to technical reasons, some formats may
be unavailable.
You can find more information about downloading the
XML source code of this documentation
at http://cvs.php.net/. The
documentation is stored in the phpdoc module.
