[erlang-questions] edoc: grouping functions

[Kenneth Lundin]

Hi,

The official Erlang documentation is generated with an application called
'docbuilder' which is introduced as open source in the OTP R11B-5 release.

For the majority of the documentation we use XML and the DTD's documented
in the docbuilder application.

For some applications we actually use edoc but with a special backend which
translate edoc input to our XML DTD's before we process it in the same
manner as
all the other docs.

The extensive documentation for 'docbuilder' can be found here:
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/docbuilder/index.html

The release of docbuilder is the first step in our plan to release the source
for all official documentation.
The purpose with releasing the source for the documentation is that
the Erlang community can contribute with enhanced ways of formatting,
indexing,
integration with editors etc.
Another goal with releasing docbuilder and the source for docs could
be to create a standard way of documenting Erlang applications (with
docbuilder and edoc and enhancements).
