I'd like to find a way to have the help in sync with the official

I think there's a jira issue for this already.

If you have any idea...

Thanks

Hi Vincent,

Sorry for the delay. Let me see if I've well understood what do you would like.

A standard XWiki Enterprise installation doesn't include any help file but a link to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Documentation in the top button bar.

The default set of XWiki pages in the *.xar includes a Panels.SyntaxHelp document that is displayed while editing. This same panel includes a link to what you call the "official syntax guide" at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/XWikiSyntax.

In some installations I also found a Panels.XWikiSyntax what I am guessing is a deprecated version of the official syntax guide, isn't it?

The point will be to find how to synchronize the contents of Panels.SyntaxHelp with the official syntax guide. Is it the objective?


BTW, I don't find any JIRA XE open issue relate with help. I found at least two XWIKI related:

http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-206
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1500

As XWIKI-206 (add support for live syntax helpers) I think is far beyond the scope of the present discussion, I think that only to follow XWIKI-1500 could make sense here. Couldn't it?

Please, accept my apologies if I saying some stupid thing, but I am still trying to understand how JIRA, the mailing lists and the builds integrate the development system. Thanks for your patience.

All the best,

Ricardo
