The online manual has been updated to 4.2.1. The duplicate return values and missing cross reference bugs have been fixed.

Also, each page now contains a list of "related" forum discussions. The threads are currently just listed in descending order and are not updated real-time. If I ever feel like it, I'll implement a more relevant sorting method.

Attaching forum threads to documenation is a really good idea. The only thing that comes close is the single threaded discussion on php.net. But I like your idea better.

I think adding a thread like php.net is nice too. I find a lot of neat snippets and such in the php.net threads, and that could be really neat here on a.cc.

I tried a couple of pages and each one has a small issue generating a warning in Tidy (integrated in Firebugs):

<div id="header">
<a href="/"><img src="/theme/default/image/logo.png" alt="logo" width="293" height="56" border="0" width="293" height="56" border="0" /></a>
</div>

Line 19, the img attributes are repeated.

There's another one, in "See also" boxes, some links have a white space in them, rather than %20

Anyway, I like the new idea

Which is why it links to related threads

Yes, but a feature like the php.net threads would be better (a running list of relevant code snippets, instead of what seem to be vaguely relevant problems or questions).

Very cool. I like it a lot. Could you maybe give me the SQL dump of the documentation, so I can import it into my IRC bot?

Any chance you'll fix the bug with multiple functions with a single doc entry?

getr24
getb32

Unfortuneatly that has to do with the way the docs are layed out. I made my parser just duplicate the contents for functions that were declared with only one newline between them.

heres the actual docs for all the get[rgba][8,15,16,24,32,] functions.

The PHP manual is full of crap, ten year old comments that were bogus to begin with.

No. First off, if someone cannot tell what getr24() does, he shouldn't even own a compiler. The Allegro documentation is written in a haphazard format. There's no way to tell, other than by (probably a safe) assumption, that 10 functions are grouped together. Even if I were to copy the description to each function, it'd end up like:

and then the same people who are confused about getr24 would now be confused about why functions is plural and that it says it extracts one of those four things.

The real solution is to edit the allegro._tx and include an individual description for each function like:

getr - extracts the red component
getb - extracts the blue component

And that, anyone can do.

Most of it is just in flat html files. Attached is an XML conversion of the allegro._tx file. It should be a billion infinities easier to work with than the original mess.

My parser can output xml as well, with some bug fixes for things like this empty doc issue

The "Voice control" link in the following page:
http://www.allegro.cc/manual/api/digital-sample-routines/voice-control/voice_set_frequency
leads to a dead link:
link
which gets redirected to the Manual home.
Space in URLs strikes again?

It's just that I don't store that deep of nested sections as a reference. You'll see the page here:

http://www.allegro.cc/manual/api/digital-sample-routines/

I've manually added that sub-section as a dummy section with a dead parent so that the link will work.

It works, thank you.
I posted here because the news mentioned "missing cross reference bugs"
Manual manual update = double chore
