I have app that needs to include searchable PHP Manual. Looking at Chmlib and time I have at hand, it looks I cannot make it by making CHM viewer. So I though I would find if I can get XML version of manul…none exists. As final resort I have decided I would use Python and beautifulsoup to parse files into database but then I ran into problem of knowing format that PHP Manual follow in documenting its functions and if the whole Idea I think is practical
Is this even possible in your opinion? Any pointer to help my mission? Is there any other way I can pack PHP documentation into database (like SQLite3)
I used PHP XMLs from SVN as suggested by Paladin and from those DocBook XMLs I used PHP Manual builder script found in docs directory to configure and then build the format I need
