Documentation was: Re: [Mapserver-users] Using STYLE objects

[David Fawcett]

Great idea Steve.  I think that this would be very useful and add a more
user-friendly way for people to link examples to specific areas of the
documentation.  

For those of you who are wondering what the MySQL docs look like, here
is a link to a sample page from the documentation.

Just I thought here, but it seems that we should be updating the 
documentation to indicate deprecated keywords and to suggest the 
appropriate way of doing things.

Also have you been to the mysql doc site, It would be nice id 
documentation was using the same tools with the ability of users to add

comments and examples to any of the sections (for example: each mapfile

object could be a section and allow for individual comments). I think 
this would help people by keeping the documentation up to date and it 
would help the doc staff by collecting additional information that
needs 
to be added or explained better in the docs.
