This document tries to give a suitable outline for Chalk's documentation. It
|
|
is based on the Chalk manual in SVN (koffice/chalk/doc/manual/chalk.kwd) as of
|
|
2005-07-08, the KDE documentation template, and furthermore contains my own
|
|
thoughts about what the documentation for a graphics application such as this
|
|
should look like. Comments, suggestions, ideas etc. are more than welcome.
|
|
Especially the real content still needs a lot of polishing.
