Hi.
The GPC-manual is most uncomplete. Especialy the refence. I will help to make the reference complete. I must teach my students 'how to programming in Pascal'. And i almost make my own scripts. I can make my docs like a format, that they fit in the GPC-manual. Today, i am learning LaTeX, and the GPC-manual must be in TeXInfo. Is this right? Is there a tool to convert LaTeX to TeXInfo? (Sorry, i don't know anything about TeXInfo. But when it is necessary i will learn it.) In my docs (my scipts) i have a basicly layout. When it is possilbe to use this layout for the GPC-reference i'm verry happy, and i will help to make it complete. ('Uff' was this really my words?) There is a haeder and a footer. I have made an example in LaTeX. You can take a look: http://www.bauermann.de/GPC/manual/reference/ (Several formats: LaTeX, dvi, ps and/or jpg) This basicly form looks good in my eyes. Please, think about it and tell me your ideas. It's only an example. Then we can change it to make it perfect. Sorry my english-grammar. I use my english only for reading, now.
Greetings Uwe
PS.:BTW: Sorry my LaTeX-Code. I'm a beginner. Please send me suggestions, corrections, optimum, ... Thanx
Hi, Uwe! Hi, GPC list!

Right.
I just finished integrating large parts of the command reference and of the programmers' manual written by Dominik Freche into the GPC distribution. So you can download now a much more complete version of the GPC documentation. Anyway, there is still a lot of work to do.
I will help to make the reference complete.
Fein. :-)
I think that we now have a very good starting point.

That would be GNU Texinfo. For printing, you can compile it with TeX using the `texi2dvi' utility.
Is there a tool to convert LaTeX to TeXInfo?
Not to my knowledge. But if you are using a limited set of commands in LaTeX you can easily write a small program to do that specific conversion.

Your format is quite close to that in the GPC reference. I think that automatic conversion is possible.

One hint, concerning LaTeX as well as Texinfo: Instead of specifying optics (\vspace{...}\textbf{...}\noindent}, better specify your ideas {\subsection{...}} and let the formatter choose the font etc. for you. (If you want to change that font, write a style file.)
Okay, so now there are several documentation-related projects on this list. I think it's time to use the (already existing) GPC documentation list gpc-doc@gnu.de when going on.
Let's go ... :-)
