documentation

I'm looking for a place to put a few GB of documents (mostly .doc and .xls ). My team already has a Subversion server set up for managing the documents we create, so I'd prefer to use that if possible. How well will Subversion handle all this extra stuff? Most of it is legacy information and will only ever have one version, but it is possible that a few documents could be updated. I've been warned that SVN isn't particularly lots-of-big-binary-files-friendly. I'm wary of trying it to see whether it works since they'll always be in the repository history even if I later delete them. Any

Does documentation for C++ exist in Linux? I want something like the man pages of C. For example, docs for string, stl, iostream, ifstream, etc.? Matteo Italia If you use the "normal" libstdc++ shipped with g++, its documentation is available online here . Most Linux distributions make it also available offline as a particular package; for Debian-derived distros, for example, it's libstdc++-6-<version>-doc (e.g. on my Ubuntu machine I have libstdc++-6-4.4-doc installed). In general the documentation will be put somewhere like /usr/share/doc/libstdc++-6-4.4-doc . This about implementation

This is something that has been bugging me for a while. When I see any Ruby method printed in text, it usually appears as: Class#method or #method Now, I would use: Class.method Why are all Ruby methods preceded by a pound sign? Is there any reason for it? Just curious. From the rdoc docs : Names of classes, source files, and any method names containing an underscore or preceded by a hash character are automatically hyperlinked from comment text to their description. (Emphasis added.) Note that the convention is: Class#method rather than object#method In code you would have object.method , if

Are there automatic ways to sync comments between an interface and its implementation? I'm currently documenting them both and wouldn't like to manually keep them in sync. UPDATE: Consider this code: interface IFoo{ /// <summary> /// Commenting DoThis method /// </summary> void DoThis(); } class Foo : IFoo { public void DoThis(); } When I create class like this: IFoo foo=new Foo(); foo.DoThis();//comments are shown in intellisense Here comments are not shown: Foo foo=new Foo(); foo.DoThis();//comments are not shown in intellisense The <inheritDoc/> tag will perfectly generate the documentation

I am trying to find documentation to use the FFmpeg C API. It seems that only command line documentation is available. Is there any good documentation/tutorials/links available? I've been keeping the Dranger ffmpeg tutorials up to date here: https://github.com/mpenkov/ffmpeg-tutorial I've tried to keep the code changes minimal while fixing bugs and rewriting deprecated parts. Here is the best one I have found so far. It deals with a lot of the quirks of the API and shows you how to build a working video player using SDL and libavformat/libavcodec. http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/ I created this wiki
